Answer:
the ratio of boys to the girls is 5 is to 3 if the number of girls is 300 what is the number of boys
Answer:
3/5of300=3×60=180 equal to nu. of girls
So,boys =total students - nu. of girls
=300–180 = 120
Alternative method ,
Let total students be 1
Nu. of girls =3/4(given)
So ,nu. of boys= 1(total students)–3/5(nu. of girls)=1–3/5=2/5
Then,nu.of boys=2/5 of total students
=2/5×300 = 120
