Romeo Dillon · Answer 1

40.

Explanation:

Let the number of girls be X.

number of boys = 24

The ratio = 5 (girls) : 3 (boys)

Setting up a proportion,

we have,

5 : 3 = X : 24

3 x 8 = 24

X = 5 x 8

= 40

There are 40 girls in the chorus.

Nikki · Answer 2

Set up a proportion:

5 : 3 = X : 24

3 * 8 = 24

5 * 8 = 40

Therefore, there are 40 girls in the chorus.
