Question

The boys and the girls in
the school are in the ratio 9:5. The total straingth of
the school is 448, find the no
of girls​

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

let the students be x.

so,

No. of boys - 9x

No. of girls - 5x

Total no. of students- 448

448 = 9x + 5x

448 = 14x

x = 448 ÷ 14

x = 32

No. of girls = 5x = 5×32 - 160

No. of boys - 9x - 9× 32 = 228
