Question

in a class of 96 students , the no. of girls is three-fifths of the no. of boys. find the no. of boys and girls in class​

Answer 1

Answer:

BOYS =60

GIRLS=36

Step-by-step explanation:

there are a total of 96 students

let number of boys be 'B'

number of girls be 'G'

G=3/5B

therefore, G+B=96

3/5B+B=96

8/5B=96

B=60

G=3/5B

G=36

Answer 2

Total students = 96 students

i.e. number of girls + number of boys =96

Given that number of girls = (3/5) number of boys

let number of boys be x

so number of girls =(3/5)x

so,

x + (3x/5) = 96

8x/5 = 96

x = 96 ×5 /8

x = 12 × 5

x= 60

so number of boys =60

number of girls =36
