✬ Total Strength = 48 ✬
Step-by-step explanation :-
- Ratio boys and girls in the class is 7 : 5.
- number number of boys is 8 more than the number of girls.
- What is the total class strength ?
Solution : Let assume that x is the common in given ratios. so,
➟ Boys = 7x..........(i)
➟ Girls = 5x
A/q
Boys = 8 more than 5x
Boys = (5x + 8)..........(ii)
➬ Equation 1 = 2
⟹ 7x = 5x + 8
⟹ 7x - 5x = 8
⟹ 2x = 8
⟹ x = 8/2
⟹ x = 4
Now put the value of x in above ratios.
- Boys = 7 × 4 = 28
- Girls = 5 × 4 = 20
.°. Class strength = Boys + Girls
➙ 28 + 20
➙ 48
Hence, total class strength / number of students is 48.
Hope it's helpful :)
