Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first you make an expression then it will be easy for you

let no. of boys be x

no.of girls=1/3+x

no.of boys+no.of girls=140

x+1/3x=140

4/3x=140

4x=140X3

4x=420

x=420/4

x=15

so, no of boys=x=15

     no of girls=1/3+x=15.3

total students/no.of girls

=140/15.3

ans=140/15.3

:)

herman34: hi shrishty could you please do that again because in the equation no. of girls is taken wrong it is not that you mentioned earlier
