Answer 1

girl - 160

boys -256

Total strength - 416

Answer 2

Answer:

If 8:5 is the ratio of boys to girls in the school and there are 160 girls, then the total strength is 416

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

boys to girls ratio= 8:5

That is if 8x boys are there, then 5x girls will be there

Given the number of girls = 160

So, 5x = 160

x = 160/5 = 32

boys in the school = 8x = 8*32 = 256

So the total strength = number of boys + girls

= 160+256 = 416

So the total strength is 416
