The high school band has a ratio of 3 girls to 2 boys. If there are 30 girls in the band, how many total students are in the band?

OpenStudy (jojokiw3):

\[\frac{ 3 }{ 2 } = \frac{ 30 }{ ? }\] Can you solve this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For every 3 girls there are 2 boys. So 3/30 equals 10. 10 *2 equals 20. 20 + 30 is 50.
