Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In school x ,let the no. of girls and boys be 100x and 100y

In school y ,let the number of girls and boys be 150y and 100y

In school x,let the girls be x,then boys =7x/5

In school y ,let the boys be y,then no.of girls =3y/3

1/2(7x/2)=7/10(3y/2)

So the ratio is 36:25
