Three sevenths of a children's choir are boys. If there are 12 boys in the choir, how many children, c, total are in the choir? Solve for c.
28 kids are in the choir. Its 3 4 = 12. Then Its 3/7 4 = 12/28. Ther you gooooo.
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 = \(\frac{3}{7} c\)
or
\(12 = \frac{3}{7}c\)
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
