Answer:

40.

Explanation:

Let the number of girls be X.

number of boys = 24

The ratio = 5 (girls) : 3 (boys)

Setting up a proportion,

we have,

                    5 : 3 = X : 24

                    3 x 8 = 24

                    X = 5 x 8

                        = 40

There are 40 girls in the chorus.
