The ratio of the number of boys to the total number of students in the band is ?

Answer 1

Hi Nada - since there are 14 boys and 19 girls in the band, there are a total of 33 students in the band.

 

So, the ratio of boys to total students is 14:33

 

Note: this means that out of every 33 students, 14 are boys. So if there were 66 total students in the band, 28 would be boys.
