Hope you understood.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the school, 5/8 of the students are boys.

Number of girls = 240

[Because possible outcomes are 2, either the student can be a boy or a girl]

Fraction of girls = 8/8-5/8=3/8

So 3/8 of the Students are girls.

So it clearly shows →3/8 of the total number of students=240

3/8×Total number of students=240

Total number of students = 8×240/3=640.

Total number of students= 640.

Number of boys = Total number of students- Number of Girls.

Number of boys = 640-240.

Number of boys =400.
