Question

Tito went to a concert given by a jazz band. The band had 5 saxophone players and 4 trumpet players. What was the ratio of trumpet players to saxophone players in the band?

Answer 1

Your ratio is 5:4.

We have 5 saxophone players & 4 trumpet players.

So if we have 4 trumpet players we have our first number in our ratio which would be: $4:?$

Our second number is 5, that 5 represents the saxophone players.

That brings that to our equation 5:4.

Have an amazing day.
