QuestionThe sixth-grade chorus has a boy-to-girl ratio of $3:8$. Find the number of boys and girls for 11 members last year and 33 this year.

Studdy Solution
Repeat steps3 to8 for this year's total number of chorus members.
$$Number\, of\, units\, this\, year = Total\, number\, this\, year / Total\, number\, in\, one\, unit$$$$Number\, of\, units\, this\, year =33 /11 =3$$$$Number\, of\, boys\, this\, year = Number\, of\, units\, this\, year \\times Boys\, per\, unit =3 \\times3 =9$$$$Number\, of\, girls\, this\, year = Number\, of\, units\, this\, year \\times Girls\, per\, unit =3 \\times8 =24$$So, last year there were3 boys and8 girls, and this year there are9 boys and24 girls.
