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...!!!
