Answer:

960

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to figure out what 1/4th of 640 is, which is 160.

It says that number is 1/6th of boys, so you multiply by the inverse.

160x6 = 960

well since all of the girls = 4/6ths of the boys that would mean 24/24girls=16/24boys  

16/24 is 66.666666666667% of 24/24

66.666666666667% of 640 is426.666666667 but in my head i would round up so:

Approximately

427 boys and 213 girls.
