x=540x4/5

x=432

therefore number of girls=432

total number of students=540+432=972

Answer 2

Hello mate,

Let the number of boys=5x

Let the number of girls=4x

The number of boys=540 (given)

A•T•Q

5x=540

x=540/5

x=108

So,the value of x is 108

Multiply it by 4 to get the number of girls.

girls=4x=4×108

=432

Now to find the total number of children.

540+432=972
