hiii,
ratio = 9:5
sum of ratio = (9 + 5) = 14
boys = 9/14 × 448 = 288
girls = (448 - 288) = 160
hope helps

let the number of boys and girls be x ..then ,
9x+5x=448
14x=448
x=32
so , number of boys=32×9=288
and number of girls=32×5=160
9x+5x=448
14x=448
x=32
so , number of boys=32×9=288
and number of girls=32×5=160
