The problem states that there is 1 boy for every 4 girls in the school choir, and there are a total of 11 boys. We need to find out how many girls are in the choir.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. Let the number of boys be \( B \) and the number of girls be \( G \).
2. According to the problem, for every 1 boy, there are 4 girls. This implies a ratio of boys to girls:
   \[
   \frac{B}{G} = \frac{1}{4}
   \]
   From this ratio, we can express the number of girls in terms of the number of boys:
   \[
   G = 4 \times B
   \]
3. We are given that there are 11 boys:
   \[
   B = 11
   \]
   Substituting \( B = 11 \) into the equation for \( G \):
   \[
   G = 4 \times 11 = 44
   \]
   
Thus, there are **44 girls** in the choir.
