Answer:

33 students

Step-by-step explanation:

nr of boys-b

nr  of girls-g

b/g=4/7  

*7       *7

7b/g=4

*g       *g

7b=4g

we know  b+g=24.....40  

                 *4         *4

 4b+4g=between 96(24*4)   and 160(40*4)

but  4g=7b

4b+7b= 96.......160

11b=96.....160

but  multiple of 11  could be 99,110,121, 132, 143, 154

then b could be 9,10,11,12,13 or 14

if  b=12  

7b=4g so 7*12=4*g then   g=7*12/4=84/4=21

then  12+21=33  students
