Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

4/7 of students are boys ( Given )

Total number of students = 2184

It means number of boys = 4/7 of 2184 = 4/7* 2184 = 1248.

Therefore,

Number of boys = 1248

Let the number of girls be x .

Then,

Number of boys + Number of girls should be equal to total number of students.

1248 + X = 2184

X = 2184 - 1248

X = 936

Therefore,

Number of girls = x = 936 .
