Question

The boys and the girls in a school are in ratio 9:5 It the total strength of the school is448 find the number of girls​

Answer 1

Answer:

number of boys will be 9x = 9 * 32 = 288

number of girls will be 5x = 5 * 32 = 160

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of boys and girls be 9x and 5x

total no. of students = total class strength

$9x + 5x = 448 \\ 14x = 448 \\ x = 448 \div 14 \\ x = 32$

the value of x is 32 so,

number of boys will be 9x = 9 * 32 = 288

number of girls will be 5x = 5 * 32 = 160

Answer 2

Answer:

• The ratio of boys and girls are 9:5
• Total stergent of school is 448
• Let the same divident be x
• Total number of boys = 9x
• Total number of girls = 5x
• According to given condition, we have :
• 9x + 5x = 448
• 14x = 448
• x = 448÷14
• x = 32
• Total number girls = 5x = 5 × 32 = 160.
