Answer:

  • There are 60 boys and 100 girls at Rotterdam High School

Step 1: Add the ratios

  • => 3 + 5
  • => 8

Step 2: Divide 160 by 8.

  • => 160 ÷ 8
  • => 20

Step 3: Multiply.

  • => Total students of boys: 20 x 3 = 60 students
  • => Total students of girls: 20 x 5 = 100 students

Therefore, there are 60 boys and 100 girls at Rotterdam High School

Hoped this helped.
