To find out how many students are in choir, we can use the ratio of choir students to band students given in the problem.
The problem states that there are 6 students in choir for every 1 student in band. This means the number of choir students (C) is 6 times the number of band students (B).
Given that there are 59 students in band (B = 59), we can set up the equation:
\[ C = 6 \times B \]
Substituting in the value for B:
\[ C = 6 \times 59 \]
Now, calculating this:
\[ C = 354 \]
So, there are 354 students in choir.
The answer is not A (53). The correct answer is 354.
