Answer :
There are 64 musicians and 5/8 of them are guitarists:
5/8 * 64 = 40 ( the total numbet of guitarists )
x - the guitarists playing jazz slolo
x : 40 = 1 : 4
4 x = 40
x = 40 : 4
x = 10
Therefore there are 10 guitarists playing jazz solo.
40 - 10 = 30
Answer:
There are 30 guitarists who play classical solo.
The first thing we must do for this case is find the number of total guitarists.
We have then:
[tex] (\frac{5}{8}) * (64) = 40
[/tex]
We now look for the relationship between the number of guitarists playing jazz alone to the total number of guitarists.
We have then:
[tex] \frac{x}{40} = \frac{1}{4} [/tex]
Where,
x: number of guitarists playing jazz alone
From here, we clear the value of x.
[tex] x = (\frac{1}{4}) * (40)
x = 10
[/tex]
Then, the number of guitarists who play classical solo is:
[tex] 40 - 10 = 30
[/tex]
Answer:
30 guitarists play classical solos in the contest
