Answer:

There are 150 boys and 100 girls.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution :

The ratio to boys and girls is 3;2

Let,

The number of boys in school = 3x

The number of girls in school = 2x

There are 250 students in the school

________________________

★ According to the Question :

Total students = 250

⇒ 3x + 2x = 250

⇒ 5x = 250

⇒ x = 250 / 5

⇒ x = 50

________________________

• The number of boys in school = 3x

⇒ 3 (50)

⇒ 150

The number of boys in school = 150

________________________

• The number of girls in school = 2x

⇒ 2 (50)

⇒ 100

The number of girls in school = 100

Therefore, There are 150 boys and 100 girls.
