of the number girls. Find the number of boys and girls ​

Answer 1

Answer:

56 ÷ 2 ok bro you got your answer

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

total no. of students - 56

Let the no. of girls be - X

let the no. of boys be - Y

According to given condition -

X+Y=56 ------------(1)

Y = 2/5 X (as the no. of boys is 2/5th the no. of girls )

Now substitute the value of Y in equation 1

X+2/5X=56

5X+2X/5=56

7X=56×5

x=280/7

X = 40

Y = 56-40=16

Hence , number of boys is 16 and number of girls is 40
