10.In Star School, the ratio of students who bring
lunch from home to those who buy it at tuck-shop
is 11:3. If 87 buy their lunch, how many students
are there at the school?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

There are 406 students in the school

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students in the school be x

The total ratio is 11 + 3 = 14

The ratio that buys lunch is represented by 3

So, we have it that;

3/14 * x = 87

3x = (14 * 87)

x = (14 * 87)/3

x = 406
