A school choir is made up of girls and boys in the ratio 4:3.There are 35 students altogether. How many students are boys. ​

Respuesta :

Answer:

15 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Set up the equation.

  • [tex]4x + 3x = 35[/tex]

Step 2: Combine like terms.

  • [tex]7x=35[/tex]

Step 3: Divide both sides by 7.

  • [tex]\frac{7x}{7} =\frac{35}{7}[/tex]
  • [tex]x = 5[/tex]

Step 4: Plug in the value of 5 for x in 3x.

  • [tex]3(5)[/tex]
  • [tex]15[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is 15 boys.
