The ratio of male students to female students in the drama club at Campo high school is 3:4. If the number of male students in the club is 18, predict the number of female students.
Set up an equation. Since the ratio is 3:4 male:female, it would be 3m=4f. Since you know that 3m=18, solve for m and plug it into the 3m=4f equation to get the number of females! Don't forget that the number of females is 4f not just f!
