Kindergarten to Grade 8.
a) Three-quarters of the students are boys.
How many boys attend the school?
b) One-third of the students are in K to Grade 4.
How many students are in Grades 5 to 8?

Answer 1

A) 495 boys attend the school

B) 440 students are in Grades 5 to 8

Explanation:

Find how many boys attend by multiplying 660 by 3/4

660(3/4)

= 495

Find how many students are in Grades 5 to 8 by multiplying 660 by 2/3

660(2/3)

= 440

So, 495 boys attend the school and 440 students are in Grades 5 to 8.
