Answer:
Here c represents the total number of children in choir.
As per the statement:
Total number of boys in choir = 12
It is also given that: Three sevenths of a children's choir are boys.
⇒ Total number of boys = [tex]\frac{3}{7} c[/tex]
or
[tex]12 = \frac{3}{7}c[/tex]
By cross multiply we have;
84 = 3c
Divide both sides by 3 we have;
c = 28
Therefore, the total number of children in choir is 28 children
