With a ratio of 5:13 for every 18 students 5 are male and 13 female so:
(5/18)(100%)=27.8% are male and (13/18)(100%)=72.2% are female
15300 total students
15300(.27778)=4250 male students ANSWER 1: There are 4250 male students.
15300(.72222)=11050 female students ANSWER 2: There are 11050 female students.
CHECK
4250/5=11050/13
850=850
