Question

The ratio of boys to the number of girls in a school is 4:5 there are 95 girls in the school work out the total number of students in the school

Answer 1

The ratio of boys to the number of girls is 4:5, which means for every 4 boys, there are 5 girls.

Since there are 95 girls, the number of boys can be found by multiplying the number of girls by the ratio of boys to girls:

4/5 * 95 = 76

Therefore, there are 76 boys in the school.

The total number of students in the school is the sum of the number of boys and the number of girls:

76 + 95 = 171

Therefore, there are 171 students in the school.
