Answer:
Total children = 52
Step-by-step explanation:
The question says that "The ratio of boys to girls in the school play is 5 to 8. There are 32 girls participating in the play. How many children participate in the school play? "
Let there are 5x boys and 8x girls in a school play.
Total no of girls participating in the play = 32
ATQ,
8x = 32
x = 4
Boys = 5x
= 5(4)
= 20
Total children = boys + girls
= 20 + 32
= 52
Hence, there are 52 children participating in the school play.
