The ratio of boys to girls in Mrs. Reiter’s music class is 2 to 3. There are 24 girls in the class. What is the total number of students in Mrs. Reiter’s music class?

Answer 1

If the ratio of boys to girls in Mrs. Reiter's music class is 2 to 3, then for every 3 girls, there are 2 boys.
Since there are 24 girls in the class, then there are 24/3 = <<24/3=8>>8 groups of girls in the class.
Since each group of girls has 2 boys, then there are 8*2 = <<8*2=16>>16 boys in the class.
The total number of students in Mrs. Reiter's music class is 24girls + 16boys = <<24+16=40>>40 students. Answer: \boxed{40}.
