the ratio of male students to female students in the drama club at Campbell High School is 3:4. If the number of male students in the club is 18, predict the number of females students?
------
3:4 is the same as 3x:4x where 3x is # of male and 4x is # of female.
---
Equation:
3x = 18
x = 6
------------
4x = 24 (# of female students)
