We can start by using the ratio to find the fraction of girls in the school: girls : boys = 5 : 4 This means that out of every 5 + 4 = 9 students, 5 of them are girls. So the fraction of girls is: 5/9 To find out how many students are girls in a school with 918 students, we can set up a proportion: 5/9 = x/918 where x is the number of girls. To solve for x, we can cross-multiply: 5 × 918 = 9 × x 4590 = 9x x = 4590/9 x = 510 Therefore, there are 510 girls in the school.
