The ratio of choir seats to band seats is 4:1. This means that for every 4 choir seats, there is 1 band seat.
Since the total number of seats is 250, we can set up the equation:
4x + x = 250
Simplifying the equation:
5x = 250
Dividing both sides by 5:
x = 50
Therefore, there are 50 band seats available.
The correct answer is:
50 students
Use proportional relationships to solve this mixture problem. The incoming 6th-grade class has a choice between band or choir as an elective. There are four times as many seats in choir as there are in band. How many students can choose band if there is a total of 250 students?(1 point)
