number of Chinese students in a school is 5:4:8.

What is the total number of students?
Ans:

Answer 1

663

Explanation:

the total number of students can be determined using this equation :

(total ratio of Chinese and Indian students / total ratio of students) x n = 468

total ratio of Chinese and Indian students = 4 + 8 = 12

total ratio of students 4 + 8 + 5 = 17

N = TOTAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS

12/17) x n = 468

multiply both sides of the equation by 17/12

n = 663
