Since the ratio of chatterboxes to blabbermouths is 3 to 4, we can set up the following proportion:
3 / 4 = 165 / x
Cross multiplying, we get:
3x = 660
x = 220
Therefore, there were 220 blabbermouths at the semi-annual gala.
the ratio of chatterboxes to blabbermouths at the semi-annual gala was 3 to 4. If there were 165 chatterboxes, how many blabbermouths were there?
