Answer 1

Answer:

160

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total students = x

A.T.Q

3/8 x = 60

x = 60 ÷ 3/8

x = 60 * 8/3

x = 160

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of student in grade 7 be X

According to the question 3/8 th of the total student are boys.

∴ 3/8 th of X( here X is the total student in grade 7) = 60 boys in the grade 7

∴ 3X/8 = 60

∴ 3X = 60*8

∴3X= 480

∴ X=480/3

X = 160

Therefore the total number of students in grade 7 is 160.

Hope this helps.
