Making in solution

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of Boys= 144

Number of Girls = 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in question , the ratio of number of boys to girls in school.

Total strength of students in school = 224

and Total number of Boys:Total number of girls= 9:5

now Let the total number of boys = 9x

total number of girls = 5x

since, total number of students=224

so,. boys no.+ girls no. =224

9x+5x= 224

14x=224

so x= 224÷14

x=16

Therefore Number of boys= 9×X

=9×16=144

and , number of girls = 5× X

= 5× 16= 80
