Question

The ratio of seventh grade students to eighth grade students in the school band is 3 to 4. There are 36 seventh grade students in the school band. What is the total number of students in the school band

Answer 1

Answer:

84

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the number of students in grade 7

Let B be the number of students in grade 8

we have    $\frac{A}{B} =\frac{3}{4}=\frac{36}{B}$

===> B (number of students in grade 8) = 4x36/3=48

so there are 48+36= 84 students in school band
