Given that 5/8 of the students are boys..
Let the total no. Of students be x.
.°. 3/8 of 'x'are girls!
Now.. 3/8(x) = 240
x = (240×8)/3
x = 640
Therefore total no. of students in the school is 640.
But, 240 are girls...
.°. No. Of boys students = (640-240) = 400
Let the total no. Of students be x.
.°. 3/8 of 'x'are girls!
Now.. 3/8(x) = 240

x = 640
Therefore total no. of students in the school is 640.
