Question

in a class of 56 students , the number of girls is 3/5 of the boys. find the numbers of boys in a class.​

Answer 1

Answer:

35 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of boys be x

∴ Number of girls = 3x/5

∴ Total students = (girls + boys)

∴ Total students = (x + 3x/5) = 8x/5....(1)

Given, total students = 56

So,

$\frac{8x}{5} = 56$

$x = \frac{56 \times 5}{8}$

$∴x = 35$

∴ Number of boys = 35 (ANS)

Hope this helps :)
