Answer 2

Answer:

1285 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

6/11 of students at a school are girls. If there are 2827 students at the school, how many are boys?

First we have to find the number of girls,

No. of girls

$= 2827 \times \frac{6}{11} \\ \\ = 257 \times 6 \\ \\ = 1542$

Number of Boys= Total students-No. of girls

$=2827 - 1542 \\ \\ = 1285$
