Answer: There are 56 boys in the 10th grade

Explanation:

Step 1

ratio of boys to girls in the 10th grade is 8 :13

Number of girls= 91

To find the number of boys, we first find the total number of boys and girls in the 10th grade

Step 2

Now the total ratio= 8 +13=21

Number of girls = ratio of girls/ total ratio x Total number of students

91=13/ 21 x Total number of students

Total number of students =21 x 91 / 13 =147

Step 3

Therefore Number of boys =ratio of boys/ total ratio x Total number of student

8/21 x 147=56
