Answer 1

Answer:

528 students are female

Step-by-step explanation:

51.5% of them are male

female = 100%  - 51.5% = 48.5%

so

1200 x 0.485 = 582

Answer: 528 students are female

Answer 2

Answer:  582

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Total number of students in school = 1200

Percentage of males = 51.5% = 0.515

Then, the number of students are males = Percentage of female x Total students

= 0.515 x 1200 = 618

i.e.  Number of students are males = 618

Then,Number of students are females = Total students - Number of  students are males

= 1200-618 =582

Hence, there are 582 females.
