Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 32 female casts in a school play

The ratio of male to the female role is 3:8

Therefore the number of male casts in the school play can be calculated as follows

3/8= x/32

Cross multiply

8x = 32×3

8x= 96

x= 96/8

= 12

Hence there are 12 male casts in the school play
