Question

In a school,there are 444 students.The number of girls is 1/5 times the number of boys.Find the number of boys and girls..

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. Of boys be x

Then no. Of girls is x/5

Now,according to question

x + x/5 = 444

6x/5 =444

x=(444x5) /6

x=370

The no. Of girls is 370/5=74

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Total students = 48

Boys = 2/3

Then probably the remaining girls should be as,

Girls + Boys = 100%

i.e., Girls + 2/3 = 1

Girls =1-(2/3)=1/3

So, The Total boys count will be,

Total boys = (Given data)x(Total strength) = (2/3)x48

Total boys = 32

We know that , Total Girls = (1/3)x48

Total Girls = 16

Total boys + Total Girls = 16 + 32

= 48 (Total students)

That is the answer…!!!
