Question

There are 32 female performers in a dance recital.The ratio of men to women is 3:8.How many men are in the dance recital?

Answer 1

Answer:12

Step-by-step explanation:32 divided by 8= 4 so then, 4x3 = 12 men in total

Answer 2

Yes the answer is 12. If there are a total of x performers and y is the number of males, then the equation is 8k = 32 where k is an element of the natural numbers. That means that the ratio has to be multiplied by 4 to get the numbernof males. In this case it was 3 so 3×4=12.
