Answer:

If there are 55 students in band, then 220 students are in choir.

Explanation:

It is given that the Jackson Middle School has 4 students in choir for every 1 student in band.

$1\text{ student in band}=4\text{ students in choir}$

Multiply both sides by 55.

$1* 55\text{ student in band}=4* 55\text{ students in choir}$

$55\text{ student in band}=220\text{ students in choir}$

Therefore, if there are 55 students in band, then 220 students are in choir.
