Answer 1

Answer:

2/13

Step-by-step explanation:

let the ratio of boys to girls be 5x and 8x

5x + 8x = 6422

13x       = 6422

x           =6422/13 = 494

 total no of girls = 5x = 2470

total no of boys = 8x =3952

1/5 of girls= 2470/5 = 494    

1/8 of boys= 3952/8 = 494

students taking part in the camp= 494+494 =988

fraction of total strength took part in camp = 988/6422

                                                                   = 2/13

hope this helps
