The ratio of boys to the total number of students in a school play is 6:11. There are 15 girls in the school play. How many students are in the school play

23 students

Step-by-step explanation:

6 boys: 11 girls

x boys: 15 girls Add in the new equation

15/11 is about 1.36 Find the scale factor used

6 x 1.36 is about 8.18 Multiply the scale factor by the known amount of boys

Since we are adding students, there can't be part of a student.

6 boys: 11 girls

8 boys: 15 girls

There is a total of 23 students in the school play.
