Answer 2

Answer:

160

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's note down the information we have been provided with the question:-

Ratio of Boys to Girls - 9:5

Strength of school - 448

To find the number of girls we need to divide the total strength of students in accordance of their ratios. The number of boys is in the form of 9X and the number of girls is in the form of 5X, where X is constant for both of them.

So, we can say that 9X + 5X = 448

14X = 448

X=44814\frac{448}{14}

14

448

X=32

Hence, number of girls would be 5 x 32 = 160.

Therefore, there are 160 girls in the school.
