The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the given information about the ratio of boys to girls and the number of girls in the school. ### Step 1: Understand the Ratio The ratio of boys to girls is given as \( 9:11 \). This means that for every 9 boys, there are 11 girls. ### Step 2: Set Up the Equation Let the number of boys be represented as \( B \) and the number of girls as \( G \). According to the ratio, we can express this relationship as: \[ \frac{B}{G} = \frac{9}{11} \] We know that the number of girls \( G = 2035 \). ### Step 3: Substitute the Known Value Substituting \( G \) into the ratio gives us: \[ \frac{B}{2035} = \frac{9}{11} \] ### Step 4: Cross-Multiply to Solve for Boys Cross-multiplying to solve for \( B \): \[ B \cdot 11 = 9 \cdot 2035 \] This simplifies to: \[ B = \frac{9 \cdot 2035}{11} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Number of Boys Now we can calculate \( B \): \[ B = \frac{9 \cdot 2035}{11} = \frac{18315}{11} = 1665 \] So, the number of boys in the school is \( 1665 \). ### Step 6: Calculate the Total Number of Students To find the total number of students in the school, we add the number of boys and girls: \[ \text{Total Students} = B + G = 1665 + 2035 \] Calculating this gives: \[ \text{Total Students} = 3700 \] ### Final Answers a. The number of boys in the school is \( 1665 \). b. The total number of students in the school is \( 3700 \). ---
