    Step-by-step explanation:

    The ratio of boys to girls is not needed in this problem.

    One day, 3/5 of the students were present. That means 2/5 were absent since 3/5 + 2/5 = 1.

    2/5 of the students is 16 students.

    Then 1/5 of the students is 8 students.

    The number of students is 5 * 8 = 40

    Answer: 40 students
