Question

3/7 of students at a school are boys. If there are 2366 students at the school, how many are girls?

Answer 1

Number of girls = 1352

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a school there are total 2366 students. Out of which 3/7 of students at a school are boys.

We have to find the number of girls in a school.

Firstly, we will find the number of boys in the school;

  Number of boys = (3/7) of total students in school

                              = $\frac{3}{7} \times 2366$

                              = $3 \times 338$ = 1014

It means there are 1014 boys in the school.

Now, as we know that ;

Total students in school = Number of boys in school + Number of girls in school

So, Number of girls in school = Total students in school - Number of boys in school

                                                 = 2366 - 1014 = 1352

Therefore, number of girls in school is 1352.
