Answer 1

Less. It's just multiplication. South has 750/1 and multiply that times 13/15 to figure out norths kids. I you do 750*13/15 you get 650.

Answer 2

Answer : The north middle school have fewer than 750 students.

Explanation:

Let the number of students in south middle school be, x

and the number of students in north middle school be, y

Given:

Number students in south middle school = x = 750

and,

North middle school has 13/15 times as many students as South. That means,

`y=(13)/(15)* x` ........(1)

Now put the value of 'x' in expression 1, we get:

`y=(13)/(15)* 750`

`y=650`

Thus, number of students in north middle school = y = 650

From this we conclude that north middle school have fewer than 750 students.

Hence, the north middle school have fewer than 750 students.
