in school
$\frac{5}{8}$
of the students are boys if the 240 girls find the number of the boys in the school

Answer 1

hiiii!!!❤
Solution:
Let the total strength be x.
no. of girls=240
Then the no. of boys=x-240
According to the question...
5/8 of x = x-240
5x=8x -1920
5x-8x= -1920
-3x= -1920
x=640
Therefore,the total no. of boys in the school are 640-240=400.
