Question

The ratio of boys and girls in a school is 8:3 ,if the number of girls be 375. Find the number of boys

Answer 1

given ratio = 8:3
so 3x = 375
x = 375/3
= 125
so boys = 8×125
= 1000

Answer 2

Answer:

1000

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of boys and girls in a school is 8:3

Let the ratio be x

So, No. of boys =8x

No. of Girls = 3 x

Since we are given that the number of girls be 375

So, 3x = 375

x = 375/3

x=125

So, number of boys = 8x = 8*125=1000

Hence the number of boys is 1000
