3/5 of the students are girl and number of boys are 200 in a class. Find the number of students?
To find the total number of students in the class, we first need to calculate the number of girls.
We know that 3/5 of the students are girls. So, let's calculate that:
Number of girls = (3/5) * Total number of students
We are also given that the number of boys is 200. Therefore, the number of girls can be calculated as follows:
Number of girls = (3/5) * Total number of students
Number of boys = 200
Since the number of boys is given, we can substitute it into the equation and solve for the total number of students:
200 = (3/5) * Total number of students
Now, we can solve for the total number of students by isolating the variable:
Total number of students = 200 * (5/3)
Calculating this expression will give us the total number of students in the class.
3/5 S+200=S
3/5 students are girls, so 2/5 students are boys.
200 = 2/5 boys therefore 1/5 = 100.
Thus 3/5 girls = 300
Total: 500 students
