Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

520 students.

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻

60% of the 1300 students passed. This means that 40% of the students failed.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

`1300 * 0.4= 520`

⸻⸻⸻⸻

520 students failed school.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

`\boxed{\text{Another way to find this...}}\\\\\text{Take 60}\% \text{ of 1300:}\\\\1300 * 0.6 = 780\\\\\text{780 students passed school.}\\\\\text{Subtract 780 from 1300:}\\\\1300 - 780 = \boxed{520}`

⸻⸻⸻⸻
