Answer 2

Answer:90

Step-by-step explanation:Hi.

Here is your answer---

Let the number of Students in a school be x.

Thus,Number of Girls = 3/7 of the total Students

= 3/7 of x

= 3x/7

We know,

Number of Boys + Number of Girls = Total Students.

64 + 3x/7 = x

64 = x - 3x/7

64 = (7x - 3x) /7 [Taking L.C.M.]

64 × 7 = 4x

x = 60 × 7

x = 420

Total number of Students in a school is 420.

Thus, Number of Girls = 3/7 × x

= 3/7 × 420

= 90

Thus, the number of Girls in a school is 90.
