Question

there are 6 girls in a music class. this represents 3/7 of the entire class. solve 3/7s=6 to find the number of students,s, in the class.

Answer 1

The number of students in the class is $s=14$

Explanation:

It is given that there are 6 girls in a music class.

This represents $\frac{3}{7}$ of the entire class.

To determine the number of students in the class, we need to solve the equation $\frac{3}{7}s=6$

Let us solve the expression for s.

Multiplying both sides of the equation by $\frac{7}{3}$, we have,

$(\frac{7}{3} )\frac{3}{7}s=6(\frac{7}{3} )$

Simplifying the expression, we have,

$s=\frac{42}{3}$

Dividing by 3, we have,

$s=14$

Thus, the number of students in the class are 14.
