    The percentage of male students is 37.5%

    - There for every five girls there are three boys.

    - That is eight students per.

    - I took two hundred and divided it by eight to get twenty-five.

    - I got twenty five, if you take twenty-five times three you get seventy-five & if you take twenty-five times five you get one hundred twenty-five.

    - Add those two products and you'll have your two hundred.

    - So, take seventy-five over two hundred to get thirty-seven and a half.

    - Divide that by one hundred to get the ratio.

    - It comes out to 37.5%

    There would be a ratio of of 3/5 boys to girls. 3/5 of 200 is 120

    I feel like that's irrelevant because those numbers don't add up.

    Take 1 unit so 1/8 then factor it into 200.

    you get 25

    25*3 is 75.

    75 is 37.5% of 200
