The ratio of boys to girls in a school is 5: 8.if the number of girls exceeds the number of boys by 144, calculate the total number of students in the school.
pls me

Step-by-step explanation:

624 students

Since they’re only 3 parts more girls then boys and the number equals 144, you just have to divide 144 by 3. You’ll get 48

Multiply 5 and 8 by 48 to get 240 and 384 and add to get 624 which is the answer

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following

the translated point is (5,2)
