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
