there are 104 left handed students. you can get this answer by dividing the amount of right handed students by 9 (from ratio). Then multiply that answer by 2 (from ratio) to get your answer

Answer: 104 left handed students

Explanation:

Ratio: 9:2

We should divide 468 by 9, use the number we find, and then multiply it by 2.

468 / 9 = 52

52 x 2 = 104.

There are 104 left-handed students in the school.

Hope this helps!
