Answer 1

Answer:

X=1440

no of girl are 3/8

then 3/8×x= 540

X= 540×8/3

X=1440

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If 5/8 students are boys, then 3/8 student are girls,i.e., 540.

Let total number of students be 'x'.

∴ 3x/8 = 540

=> 3x = 540×8

=> 3x = 4320

=> x = 4320÷3

=>  x = 1440

Therefore, total number of students is 1440.

Now, as the boys are 5/8 of total students, number of boys= (5/8)×1440

=> 900

(Ans.) Total number of students = 1440

          Total number of boys = 900
