Question

in a school 5/8 of the total student are girls if the number of girls is 120 more than that of the boy what is the strenght of the school how many boys are there​

Answer 1

Answer:

480, 180

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total students be x

let  girls be g and boys be b

g = (5/8)x

b = x-(5/8)x = (3/8)x

b + 120 = g

(3/8)x + 120 = (5/8)x

(3/8)x - (5/8)x = -120

x/4 = 120

x = 480

b = (3/8)*480

   = 180
