Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

So when you think of a ratio you should think (in this case) for every 5 girls there are 4 boys. So you multiply 4 by what to get 32, did you say 8 well thats correct. Okay so now we know the constant is 8 by that I mean 8 is what we are going to multiply the girls by 5x8=40 so the new ratio is 40:32. Hope this helps! Have a great day!
