Answer:

total number of boys in skool is 216

And

ratio of girls to boys is a 3:4

Step-by-step explanation:

let total no. of boys be X

ACCORDING TO QUESTION

ratio of boys to girls = 4:3

total number of girls = 162

now

4/3=X/162

or, 4×162= 3x

or, 4×162/3= X

hence

X = 216

therefore total number of boys is 216

and

ratio of girls to boys is =162/216

=3/4

=3:4
