4/9 of the students are boys thus 5/9 students are girls.

Let " x " be the number of all students.

So we have :

5/9 × x = 90

Multiply both sides by 9/5

5/9 × 9/5 × x = 90 × 9/5

1 × x = 9 × 9 × 10 × 1/5

x = 81 × 2

x = 162

_______________________________

number of boys = 4/9 × x

n o boys = 4/9 × 162

n o boys = 162/9 × 4

n o boys = 18 × 4

n o boys = 72
