$\huge\fbox\blue{Answer}$

$\rm\pink{given}$

• Ratio of boys : girls = 7:5

• Total number of students = 480

Therefore ,

• Let the number of boys be 7x

• Let the number of girl be 5x

From this we get to know that 7x + 5x that is the number of boys and girls = 480 that is the total number of students.

• 7x + 5x = 480

➡️ 12x = 480

➡️ x = 480/12

➡️ x = 40

• Number of boys = 7x

➡️ 7 × 40

➡️ 280

• Number of girls = 5x

➡️ 5 × 40

➡️ 200
