Explanation:

Let the total number of boys be x.

We know that :-


(1)/(1) = 1

is the greatest fraction.

Now, considering the class AS whole, we can say that the value of class is 1.

According to Equation given:-


(4)/(5) + x = 1


x = (1)/(1) - (4)/(5)

Taking LCM,


(5 - 4)/(5)


= (1)/(5)

Fraction of the class are boys.

Hope it helps :D
