Answer:

there are 12 boys because 32/8 =4 and the ratiots 3 to 8 which means you need to multiply 3 by 4 which gives you 12

Answer:

44 members

Explanation:

Because to find out the number of members first you have to find out the number of boys in choir

Divide total number of girls (32) by ratio number (8) and you get 4

Multiply the 4 you got by the ratio of boys (3), you get 12 when you multiply these together

Add the total number of boys in choir (12) and number of girls (32) and you get 44 members!

Good day to you and I hope you like my explination.
