​

Answer 1

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

number of girls=5/8

hence, number of boys= 1-5/8=3/8

therefore, number of boys=3/8×240=90

Answer 2

Answer:

Let no.of boys be x

Since,no.of girls is 5/8

Then,

ATQ

5/8 +x = 240

5+8x = 240*8

5+8x =1920

8x= 1920-5

8x= 1915

x= 1915/8

x= 239 3/2

It will be in mixed fraction
