Answer:
Barlow school by 178
Step-by-step explanation:
→ First let's work out the number of boys at Barlow school
[tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex] of [tex]873[/tex] [tex]=[/tex] [tex](873/9)*4[/tex] [tex]=[/tex] [tex]388[/tex]
→ There is 388 boys in Barlow school. Now let's work out the number of boys at Willow school. Since we know that [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of the school is girls, it must mean that the remaining part must be boys so the fraction of boys at Willow school is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of [tex]630[/tex] [tex]=[/tex] [tex](630/3)*1[/tex] [tex]=[/tex] 210
→ The question specifies to say which school has a greater number of boys and we can see Barlow school has more boys and the question says by how many so we take away the totals so 388 - 210 = 178
