Answer:
89/160
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of students= 320
Total number of students=x+y=320
Let x= number of boys
Let y= number of girls
If there are 36 more boys than girls:
36+y=x
x+y=320 ( given x= 36+y)
36+y+y=320
36+2y=320
2y=320-36
2y=284
y=284/2
y=142
Therefore number of girls=142
Since 36+y=x
36+142=x
x=178
Therefore number of boys =178
Fraction of students that are boys=
178/320
89/160
