The number of boys in a school is 120. If the ra
tio of boys to girls is 2:3, find the total number of student in the school
Let the number of girls in the school be x.
According to the given ratio, the number of boys is 2/3 of the number of girls.
So, 2/3*x = 120.
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 3/2, we get x = (3/2)*120 = 180.
Therefore, the total number of students in the school is 120 + 180 = <<120+180=300>>300. Answer: \boxed{300}.
