Answer 1

Answer:

416

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio is 8:5

let the constant term be x

5x=160

x=160/5

x=32

total no of students= 8(32)+5(32)

                                = 256+160

Answer 2

Given :

Ratio of number of boys to girls = 8:5

Total number of girls in the college = 160

To find :

We have to find the total number of students in the college.

Solution :

Let the number of girls be 5x and number of boys be 8x.

So, 5x = 160

x = 160/5

=> x = 32

Total number of students :

=> 8x + 5x

=> 13x

=> 13(32)

=> 416

Therefore, the total number of students in the college is 416.
