Less. It's just multiplication. South has 750/1 and multiply that times 13/15 to figure out norths kids. I you do 750*13/15 you get 650.

Answer : The north middle school have fewer than 750 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students in south middle school be, x

and the number of students in north middle school be, y

Given:

Number students in south middle school = x = 750

and,

North middle school has 13/15 times as many students as South. That means,

[tex]y=\frac{13}{15}\times x[/tex] ........(1)

Now put the value of 'x' in expression 1, we get:

[tex]y=\frac{13}{15}\times 750[/tex]

[tex]y=650[/tex]

Thus, number of students in north middle school = y = 650

From this we conclude that north middle school have fewer than 750 students.

Hence, the north middle school have fewer than 750 students.
