Question

The ratio of art class to music class is 4:3. If there is 8 more students in art class, how many students are in music class

Answer 1

9 students in music class.

Explanation:

In art there are 4 and since there are 8 more 8 + 4 = 12. so there are 12 in Art.

4 x _ = 12. —> 4 x 3 = 12.
so we need to do the same for music class.

For music there are 3.
so we multiply by 3 like we did with the 4.

3 x 3 = _ —> 3 x 3 =9.
so there are 9 students in music class.
