Well, if there are two boys for every three girls then we multiply 30 by 3.

30×5=90.

Next, we divide 90 by 5.

90÷5=18.

Then we subtract 18 from 30.

30-18=12.

That means we have 12 boys and 18 girls.

Finally, we subtract 18 from 12.

18-12=6.

There are 6 more boys than girls.

Have a nice day! :)
