Question

5/8 of the 64 musicians in a music contest are guitarists. Some of the guitarist play jazz solos, and the rest play classical solos. The ratio of the number of guitarists playing jazz solos to the total number of guitarists in the contest is 1:4. How many guitarists pay classical solos in the contest?

Answer 1

I hope this helps...

64/8 = 8 • 5 = 40

40 / 4 = 10

Ten people are playing guitar jazz solos, and thirty people are playing classical solos
