Answer:

no

if you Let 3x be the number of boys

Let 2x be the number of girls

3x + 2x = 24

5x = 24

x = 4.8

3(4.8) = 14.4 boys

2(4.8) = 9.6 girls

There can't be 24 students for a ratio of 3 boys and 2 girls, because there can't be 14.4 boys and 9.6 girls, it has to be an exact number, otherwise it wouldn't make any sense
