Answer 1

Answer:

250

Step-by-step explanation:

as the ratio is 1:1 , the no of boys will be equal to number of girls

Answer 2

Answer:

125 girls, and 125 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

let no. of boys be '1x'

let no. of girls be '1x' too (because ratio is 1:1 which means that no. of girls = no. of boys)

According to question,

1x + 1x = 250

2x = 250

x = 250/2

So,

x = 125

Therefore,

No. of girls = No. of boys = 125
