Well, isn't that just a happy little question! If three out of eight children are girls, then that means five out of eight children are boys. So, the ratio of boys to girls in the class is 5:3. Remember, ratios are just a way to compare different amounts in a simple and beautiful way.
The ratio of girls to boys in this scenario is 5:1. This is determined by dividing the number of girls by the number of boys, which gives us 15 girls divided by 3 boys, resulting in a ratio of 5 girls to 1 boy.
If the boy to girl ratio in the class is 3:5, this means that for every 3 boys, there are 5 girls. To find the number of boys in the class, you need to divide the total number of students by the total parts of the ratio (3+5=8) to get the value of each part. Then multiply this value by the number of parts representing boys (3) to find the number of boys. Therefore, in a class of 24 students, there would be 9 boys (24/8=3, 3x3=9).

Robert Burns, the famous Scottish poet, had nine children with his wife Jean Armour. They had five boys and four girls.
The statement can be true if the family has a total of five children, with two boys and three girls. The phrase "half of which are boys" can also be interpreted as meaning that two out of the five children are boys, which is indeed half of four, but not of five. Therefore, the family can have five children with two being boys, fulfilling the conditions of the question.
