Question

Q1. Boys and girls in a school are in the ratio 6:4. If the total strength the school is 500. Find the no of boys and girls.​

Answer 1

Answer:

No of boys = 300

No of girls = 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of boys to girls is  6:4

total strength the school is 500

B:G = 6:4

B/G = 6/4

B = (3/2)*G

B = (1.5)*G

B+G = 500

(1.5)*G  + G = 500

(2.5)*G = 500

G = 500/(2.5)

G = 200

B = (1.5)*G

B = 300
