Question

The boys and the girls in aschool are in the ratio of 5:6 .if the number of boys is 250 ,find the number of girls and the strength of the school

Answer 1

boys = 5x
girls = 6x
no of boys are = 250
so 5x=250
x = 250/5=50
then the no of girls are 50×6 = 300
the total strength = no of boys + no of girls
250 + 300= 550

the total no strength is 550 of the school

Q: The boys and the girls in aschool are in the ratio of 5:6 .if the number of boys is 250 ,find the number of girls and the strength of the school ?

➠

Given : Number boys = 250


Let the number of boys be 5x
And the number of girls be 6x



Find the value of x ➠

A/q

=> 5x = 250

=> x = 250/5 = 50


The value of x is 50

So,
Number of girls = 6x = 6 × 50 = 300


Now,
Total strength of school
= Number of boys + Number of girls
= 250 + 300 = 550



Hence,

The number of girls = 300
And Total strength of school = 550
