Answer:

616 total students

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of boys to girls is 5:3, so for every 5 boys there will be 3 girls, divide 385 by 5 to simplify the ratio down, its 77, now multiply by 3, its 231. this is the number of girls. now just add both together to recieve the total amount of kids and its 616
