Answer :

Final answer:

To find the number of boys at Miller Middle School, we calculate the number of girls and subtract it from the total number of students.

Explanation:

In this problem, we are given that 12/25 of the students at Miller Middle School are girls and we need to find the number of boys. To solve this, we first need to calculate the number of girls. We can do this by multiplying the total number of students (350) by the fraction representing the proportion of girls (12/25). This gives us (350)(12/25) = 168 girls. To find the number of boys, we subtract the number of girls from the total number of students: 350 - 168 = 182 boys. So, there are 182 boys at Miller Middle School.

There are 350 students at miller middle school. - it's 25/25
