Answer 1

Boys : Girls = 9 : 5

Let the number of boys = 9x

Let the number of girls = 5x

Total strength of the school = 448

According to given condition, we have:

9x + 5x = 448
14x=448
x=35
No. of boys=9×35 =288
no.of girls=5×35=160

Answer 2

so ,
9+5is equal to 14

448/14 is equal to 32



number of girls is equal to (5) ; 160
