Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(a). No. Of girls = 260
No. Of boys = 240
The ratio of no. Of girls to the no. Of boys = 260/240
= 13 / 12
= 13 : 12
Answer:
Number of boys = 240
Number of girls = 260
Total number of students in school = Number of boys + Number of girls
= 240+260 = 500
a) The ratio of the number of girls to the number of boys = no. of boys : no. of
girls
= 240:260
= 12:13
b) The ratio of the number of boys to the total number of pupils in the school
= no. of boys : no. of students = 240:500 = 12:25
