Answer:

680 girls and 850 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of girls is 4/9

then we can find the number of girls (G) in the group of 1530 students using proportions:

4 / 9 = G / 1530

solving for G by multiplying both sides of the proportion by 1530, we get:

G = 4 * 1530 / 9 = 680

So there were:

680 girls and 1530 - 680 = 850 boys
