If the number of students in a school is \(576\), and the ratio of girls to boys is \(5:3\), find the difference between the number of girls and boys.
| Girls | Boys | Total |
|---|---|---|
| \(5\) | \(3\) | \(8\) |
| \(?\) | \(?\) | \(576\) |
- Number of girls = \(\displaystyle \frac{5 \times 576}{8} = 360\)
- Number of boys = \(\displaystyle \frac{3 \times 576}{8} = 216\)
- Difference = \(360 - 216 = 144\)
