There are 28 boys in the band
The 28 boys are 7/10 and the girls are 3/10 of the students
What is the total number of students in the marching band

Respuesta :

Answer:

t = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by breaking the equation down to a simpler form.  To do this you would need to divide 28 by 7.

28 / 7 = x

x = 4

Now we can create a new equation.

4x = t

T would represent the total number of students in the band.  X would be the any number from 1 to 10.  This is because 10 is the highest faction to make the fraction a whole.  Since we a looking for the total we would put ten in place for x.

4 x 10 = t

t = 40

There you go.

Hope this helped.
