Answer:
375 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of girls in the school be y.
Then, we can write the equation:
[tex] \frac{2}{5} y = 150[/tex]
We can now solve for y by multiplying both sides by
[tex] \frac{5}{2} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{2}{5} y = 150 \times \frac{5}{2} [/tex]
[tex] \implies \: y = 75 \times 5[/tex]
[tex]y = 375[/tex]
Therefore there are 375 girls in the school.
