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 .
