To find the total number of students in Mrs. Reiter's music class, we need to know the ratio of boys to girls. The given information tells us that the ratio is 2 to 3.
If there are 24 girls in the class, we can determine the number of boys by multiplying the number of girls by the ratio of boys to girls.
Number of boys = Number of girls * (Ratio of boys to girls) = 24 * (2/3) = 16 boys
The total number of students in Mrs. Reiter's music class is the sum of the number of boys and girls.
Total number of students = Number of boys + Number of girls = 16 + 24 = 40 students
