There are 17 boys and 12 girls in the school jazz band. Find ratio of number girl band to total students band.?

To find the ratio of the number of girls in the band to the total number of students in the band, we need to divide the number of girls by the total number of students and express the result in simplest form.

Number of girls in the band = 12

Total number of students in the band = 17 + 12 = 29

Ratio of number of girls to total students = 12/29

To simplify the ratio, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 1:

12/29 = (12 ÷ 1) / (29 ÷ 1)

= 12/29

Therefore, the ratio of the number of girls in the band to the total number of students in the band is 12:29.
