Answer:

50 people in the choir

Explanation:

we can solve for x, assuming x is the value in which 1 is on the ratio. 7x=35, so the value of x would be 5. Next, we must multiply x by 3 since that is what the ratio states. If we do this, we will get 5*3, or 15. Therefore, there are 15 boys in the choir. Last, we have to add 15+35 to get the total number of people in the choir. There are 50 people in the choir.

Hope this helps! :)
