Answer 1

Silk is a natural protein fiber, some forms of which can be woven into textiles. The protein fiber of silk is composed mainly of fibroin and is produced by certain insect larvae to form cocoons. The best-known silk is obtained from the cocoons of the larvae of the mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori reared in captivity

Answer 2

Answer:

The total number of students in the school = 8000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

No. of girls = 3600

Percentage of boys = 55 %

∴ Percentages of girls = 100 % - 55 % = 45 %

Let total number of students = x

∴ No. of girls = 45 % of x

⇒ 3600 = $\frac{45*x}{100}$

⇒ x = $\frac{3600*100}{45}$

∴ x = 8000

Therefore,

The total number of students in the school = 8000
