Question

the boy and girl in a school are in the ratio 9 ratio 5 if the total strength of the school is 448 find the number of girls ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

just wait i m doing it

let number of boys be 9k

and no. of girls be 5k then

if we add both we shoul get the total number of students

hence 9k + 5k = 448

= 14k = 448

= k = 448/14

= k = 32

hence no of girls = 5k = 5x32 = 160

no of boys = 9k = 9 x32 = 288

all students = 160 + 288 = 448

hence verified.

Answer 2

Answer: 448

Step-by-step explanation:

let number of boys be 9n

and no. of girls be 5k then

if we add both we shoul get the total number of students

hence 9n + 5n = 448

= 14n = 448

= n = 448/14

= n = 32

hence no. of girls = 5n = 5 x 32 = 160

no of boys = 9n = 9 x 32 = 288

all students = 160 + 288 = 448
