Answer:

Ratio = 11:9

Boys = 440

Girls = 360

Explanation:

Given that, in a school,

Total number of students = 800

Also,

Percent of boys = 55%

Therefore, number of boys = 55% of 800

No. of boys = 55/100 x 800

No. of boys = 55 x 8 =

No. of boys = 440

Therefore, we will get,

No. of girls = (800-440)

No. of girls = 360

Therefore, we will get,

Ratio of boys to girls = 440/360

Ratio = (40*11)/(40x9)

Ratio = 11/9

Hence, the ratio of boys to girls is 11:9 and number of boys and girls is 440 and 360 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bold{METHOD\ 1}$

$\text{The formula of a slope:}\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\text{x-intercept:}\ (x,\ 0).\\\\\text{Susbtitute the coordinates of the points to the formula of a slope}\\\\(-3,\ -4),\ (6,\ 2),\ (x,\ 0):\\\\m=\dfrac{2-(-4)}{6-(-3)}=\dfrac{2+4}{6+3}=\dfrac{6}{9}=\dfrac{6:3}{9:3}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\m=\dfrac{0-2}{x-6}=\dfrac{-2}{x-6}\\\\\text{Therefore we have the equation:}\\\\\dfrac{-2}{x-6}=\dfrac{2}{3}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\2(x-6)=(-2)(3)\\\\2(x-6)=-6\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\x-6=-3\qquad\text{add 6 to both sides}\\\\x=3$
