Answer:

20 students are girls. (15 are boys)

Explanation:

if the ratio is 3:4 and the total students is 35, you can make the following equation:

3x + 4x = 35

7x = 35

x = 5

then, multiply x by 4.

5*4 = 20.

20 students are girls. (15 are boys.)

sorry if this isn't well explained. hopefully I still helped!
