Answer 1

Boys is 320

Girls is 240 ......

Answer 2

Answer:

The number of girls is 240 and boys is 320.

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is given here that the total number of students in the school is 560. The ratio of boys and girls in the class is $4:3$

Now we assume the total number of boys to be $4x$ and the girls to be $3x$

Therefore the respective total number of the students = 560

⇒ $4x +3x$ = 560

⇒ $7x$ = 560

⇒ $x$ = 560 ÷ 7

⇒ $x$ = 80

The number of girls = $3x$ = 3× 80 = 240

The number of boys = $4x$ = 4× 80 = 320

Therefore the number of girls is 240 and the number of boys is 320.
