Question

4 7 of students at a school are boys. If there are 2723 students at the school, how many are girls? 5 9 of students at a school are girls. If there are 2367 students at the school, how many are boys?

Answer 1

Answer:

1167 of them are girls in the first situation.

1052 of them are boys in the second situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 2723 students at the school and 4/7 of them are boys, the number of boys:

→ 2723 x $\frac{4}{7}$ = 1556

The number of the girls = Total number of students - The number of boys

→ 2723 - 1556 = 1167

Since there are 2367 students at the school and 5/9 of them are girls, the number of girls

→ 2367 x $\frac{5}{9}$ = 1315

The number of the boys = Total number of students - The number of girls

→ 2367 - 1315 = 1052
