Question

homework of ratio solving the ratio of Male students to female students in the drama club at Campbell high school is 3:4.if the number of Male students in the club is 18 predict the number of female students?

Answer 1

We are told that the ratio of male students to female students is 3:4. If there are 18 male students, then the number of female students must follow the same ratio. That is:

`(3)/(4)=(18)/(x)`

Where "x" is the number of female students. To determine "x" we multiply both sides by "x", we get:

`(3x)/(4)=18`

Now we multiply both sides by 4/3, we get:

`x=18*(4)/(3)`

Solving the operations we get:

`x=(72)/(3)=24`

Therefore, there are 24 female students.
