Answer 2

Answer:

BARLOW SCHOOL has 388 boys

WILLOW SCHOOL has 207 boys

Barlow school has the highest number of boys with 181 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare between schools having the greater number of boys and by how many, it would be best if we interpret CLEARLY all information supplied.

Let's begin:

BARLOW SCHOOL:

Number of boys = 4/9 of 873

Number of boys = 4/9 * 873

= 4 * 97

Number of boys = 388.

Barlow school have 388 boys

WILLOW SCHOOL

At Willow school, 2/3 of 620 are girls.

We can get to the number of boys two ways here.

2/3 of 620

= 2/3 * 620

= 2 * 206.67

= 413.34 (somehow we need to Approximate this value.?

Number of girls = 413.

To get the number of boys, we subtract the number of girls from the total number of students.

Number of boys = 620 - 413

= 207

OR

1 - ⅔ = ⅓

= ⅓ * 620

= 206.67

Number of boys = 207 (Appropriately)

FROM ALL WE'VE CALCULATED, we'll see that:

BARLOW SCHOOL has 388 boys

WILLOW SCHOOL has 207 boys

Difference between the number of boys in both school:

388 - 207 = 188

Barlow school has the highest number of boys with 181 boys
