Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

500 students

Step-by-step explanation:

$1 - \frac{3}{5}$

$\frac{1}{1} - \frac{3}{5}$

Find the LCM of denominators

5 | 1,5

1, 1

LCM of 1 and 5 = 5

$\frac{1 \times 5}{1 \times 5} = \frac{5}{5}$

$\frac{3 \times 1}{5 \times 1} = \frac{3}{5}$

$\frac{5 - 3}{5} = \frac{2}{5}$

$so \: \frac{2}{5} = \frac{2 \times 100}{5 \times 100} = \frac{200}{500} \: boys \: are \: there \: in \: the \: school$

$no \: of \: girls = \frac{300}{500}$

$no \: of \: boys = \frac{200}{500}$

We can find the answer in the denominator itself

So, the total no. of students = 500
