Ans:

Answer 1

663

Explanation:

ratio of Malay = 5

ratio of Indian= 4

ratio of Chinese= 8

Total number of Indian + Chinese= 468

Total ratio= 5+4+8= 17

Let the total number of students= X

Ratio of India= 4/17 × X=

Ratio of Chinese= 8/17 × X=

Addition of ratio of both India and Chinese=

4X/17 + 8X/17= 468

(4X +8X)/17 = 468

12X/17= 468

X= 663

Hence, total number of students is 663
