Answer :

There are total 416 students in the school.

Solution :

Given ratio = 8:5

Let the no of boys be 8x and no of girls be 5x.

According to the question,

=> No of girls = 160

=> 5x = 160

=> x = 160/5

=> x = 5

____________________________

★ No of boys = 8x

=> No of boys = 8 × 32

=> No of boys = 256

★ No of girls = 160

★ Total students = no of boys + no of girls

=> Total students = 256 + 160

=> Total students = 416

•°• There are total 416 students in the school.

Answer 2
