At chestatee middle school, 120 students are in choir. the ratio of girls to boys in the choir is 5: 3. how many of each boys and girls are in the choir?

There are 75 girls and 45 boys in the choir.

You can find this by adding each side of the ratio (5 + 3 = 8) and divide 120 by the sum (120/8). This would give you 15. Now you multiply each side individually by 15, to get the number of girls and boys in the choir (5*15 = 75) and (3*15 =45). To check this, you can add the 2 products to see if it equals the total (45 + 75 = 120).

I hope this helps!
