South has 750 students.
North has 13/15 of that, which is less than 750.
13/15 of 750 is found by multiplying
(13/15)(750) = 650 students at North.

North has 13%2F15 of number that South has, and 13%2F15 is < 1, so obviously, North has less students than South. 
Number North has: %2813%2F15%29+%2A+750 = highlight_green%28650%29 students
