Answer: 10 more girls than boys

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that total number of students = 40

Boys to girls = 3:5

Calculate the number of boys:

Number of boys = 3/8 x 40 = 15

Calculate the number of girls;

Number of girls = 5/8 × 40 = 25

Therefore, 25 - 15 = 10, there are 10 more girls than boys
