The ratio of band students to choir students at Waldon is 75 to 30. What is the fraction of band students?
fraction of band students to what? total students?
It doesn't say. I also need to figure out the percent of band students withbwaht was given.
I would guess total students
band students/totalband/choir= 7/10
75/105
I think.
To find the fraction of band students, we need to determine the total number of band students and the total number of students in both the band and choir.
The ratio given is 75 to 30, which means for every 75 band students, there are 30 choir students. We can use this ratio to find the fraction of band students.
Step 1: Add the number of band students and choir students together. In this case, band students + choir students = 75 + 30 = 105.
Step 2: Determine the fraction by dividing the number of band students by the total number of students. In this case, band students / total students = 75 / 105.
Step 3: Simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, the fraction cannot be further simplified.
So, the fraction of band students at Waldon is 75/105.
