Question

The ratio of the number of boys to girls in a school is found to be 3:2. If there are 300 students in the school, find the number of boys and girls in the school.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the no of boys and girls be 3x and 2x respectively

total no of students=300

3x+2x=300

5x=300

x=60

no of boys=3x=3×60=180

no of girls=2x=2×60=120

Answer 2

Answer:

no. of boys = 180 boys

and no. of girls = 120 Girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of boys= 3

Ratio of girls= 2

Let the ratio's of boys and girls be x

so, Ratio of boys= 3x

Ratio of girls= 2x

Total number of students = 300

Total students= no. of boys + no. of girls

Here , 3x + 2x = 300

5x= 300

x= 300÷5

x = 60

Means, no. of boys = 3x= 3× 60

= 180 boys

and no. of girls = 2x = 2× 60

= 120 Girls
