There are 11 boys and 3 girls in the school jazz band. Find the ratio of the number of girls in the band to the total number of students in the band The ratio of the number to the total of students in the band is __ : __

The ratio of the number to the total of students in the band is: 3 : 14

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the ratio of girls to total students, we have to find the total number of students. You can do this by adding the number of boys and girls together, for a total of 14 kids. The number of girls is 3 out of the total 14 kids. So the ratio is 3:14

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
