Answer 2

The number of boys in school is 1052

Solution:

Let "x" be the number of boys in school

There are 2367 students at the school

5/9 of students at a school are girls

Therefore,

$\text{Number of girls } = \frac{5}{9} \times 2367\\\\\text{Number of girls } = 1315$

To find: number of boys in school

Number of boys = total students - number of girls

Number of boys = 2367 - 1315

Number of boys = 1052

Thus, number of boys in school is 1052
