Answer:

5/6 OR 5/8  I had same question 5/8 so im doing 5/8 check the question properly

Let the total number of students be x

Fraction of boys in a school = 5/8

Number of girls = 240

So,

X - 5/8x = 240

(8x - 5x)/8 = 240

3x/8 = 240

X = 240 * 8/3

X = 640

So total number of students = 640

So number of boys = 5/8 x 640

= 400

Hope it helps...!!!
