Answer 1

There are 4 boys and 17 girls in the class.

Explanation:

Out of 21 students in Mrs. Clark's class, 5th of the students are boys and rest are girls.

out of 21 every 5th student is boy, so total boys are =
`(21)/(5)`

=
`4(1)/(5)`

The whole number is 4, so the number of boys are 4.

The number of girls = 21 - 4 = 17 girls

There are 4 boys and 17 girls in the class.
