Given:

Total number of students = 1400

The ratio of boys to girls is 3 to 4 for the school.

To find:

The number of boys and girls.

Solution:

We have, Boy : Girls = 3:4.

Let number of boys be 3x and number of girls be 4x.

Total number of students = 1400


3x+4x=1400


7x=1400

Divide both sides by 7.


x=200

Now,

Number of boys
=3* 200=600

Number of girls
=4* 200=800

Therefore, the number of boys is 600 and number of girls is 800 in the Berkmar Middle school.
