Question

in a school 5/8 offthe total students are girls. if the no. of girls is 120 more than boya what is the strength of the school.how many boys are there​

Answer 1

Let the total number of students be x

Number of girls:-

$5 \div 8 \times x = 5 \div 8x$

Number of boys:-

$x - 5 \div 8x$

8x-5x/8

3x/8

According to question:-

$5x \div 8 = 120 + 3x \div 8$

$5x \div 8 - 3x \div 8 = 120$

$2x \div = 120$

$x = 120 \times 8 \div 2$

$x = 480 \: students$

Number of boys:-

$3 \times 480 \div 8$

$hence \: number \: of \: boys \: are \: 180 \:$
