Question

the boys and girls in a school are in ratio of 6:5 if total strength of the school Be880 find the number of boys and girls​

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of boys=480 number of girls=400

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of the ratio=6+5=11

Number of boys= (6/11)×880= 480

Number of girls=880-480=400

Answer 2

Number of boys =480 and the number of girls =400

Now it is given that in the school of 880, the ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls is 6:5

Let the number of boys be 6x

And the number of girls be 5x

Therefore, we get

6x + 5x = 880

Now to find the value of x, we solve the equation.

=> 11x = 880

=> x = 880/11

=> x = 80

Therefore,

The number of boys = 6 x 80

= 480

The number of girls = 5 x 80

= 400

Hence, the number of boys and girls is 480 and 400 respectively .
