Question

The ratio of boys and girls= 17:12
if girls = 168 what it is the
total number of students​

Answer 1

Answer:

406

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of boys and girls = 17:12

The number of girls = 12a

The number of boys = 17a

The number of girls = 12a

168 = 12a

168/12 = a

14 = a

The number of boys = 17a

= 17×14

= 238

Therefore,

Total number of students = boys + girls

= 238 + 168

= 406

Answer 2

Answer:

406 students

Step-by-step explanation:

let Boys be B

and let Girls be G

B:G

17:12

Ratio of students = B+G

=17+12

=29

If 12 represents 168

then 29 represents (168÷12) × 29

=406 students
