    Answer:

    33

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since the ratio is 5:3, there is a difference of 2. Divide 22 with 2 and get 11. Each ratio unit it 11. Multiply 11 with 3 to get 33 girls, and with 5 to get 55 boys

    Answer:

    Girls =33

    Boys =55

    Total =88

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Take girls to be x

    And boys x+22

    5:3

    5+3=8

    Fraction of girls is ⅜

    And boys is ⅝

    ⅝-⅜=²/8

    ²/8=22

    5/8=?

    5/8×22÷2/8=55

    ²/8=22

    3/88=

    ⅜×22÷²/8=33
