Question

2/3 students of the school are boys . If the number of boys are 800. What is the number of students​

Answer 1

Answer:

2/3 of x = 800

2x/3 = 800

2x = 2400

x= 1200

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Total number of boys = 800

Let the number of students be x.

Now,

According To Question,

$\tt \implies \frac{2}{3} \times x = 800 \\ \tt \implies \frac{2x}{3} = 800 \\ \tt \implies 2x = 800 \times 3 \\ \tt \implies 2x = 2400 \\ \tt \implies x = \frac{2400}{2}$

$\large \implies \boxed {\boxed {\tt \blue {x = 1200 }}}$

Hence, the number of students = x = 1200.

Verification

$\tt \implies \frac{2}{3} \times x = 800 \\ \tt \implies \frac{2}{3} \times 1200 = 800 \\ \tt \implies \frac{2400}{3} = 800 \\ \tt \implies 800 = 800$
