In a school 5/8 of the students are boys. If there are 240 girls, find the number of boys in the school.

Answer»

Hey

Fraction of boys = 5/8

Fraction of GIRLS = 1 - 5/8 = 3/8

Let the total number of STUDENTS be x

So, girls = 3/8 × x
240 = 3/8 × x
x = 240×8/3 = 640

Number of boys = 5/8 of 640
= 5/8 × 640
= 400

Hope it HELPS to you.
