4 : 5

300 : ?

Divide 300 by 4 to find out what '1 part' would count as:

300/4 = 75

Multiply this by 5

75 x 5 = 375

Add the two values together

375 + 300 = 675

There are 675 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of boys=300

Ratio of boys to girls=4:5

let the number of girls=y

300/y=4/5

Cross multiply

300×5=4×y

1500=4y

Divide through both sides by 4

1500/4=4y/4

374=y

Number of girls is 375

Total number of students=Number of boys+Number of girls

Total number of students=300+375

Total number of students=375
