    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
