Yes. the amount of singers and instrument players is the same. Because we have 2/5 which means to transform it into decimal form we need to divide the denominator by the numerator, 2/5= 0.4 and (2/5=0.4)=0.4
Convert 2/5 to a decimal and you get .4, or 40%. 40% of the band members also sing, so yes, the band has the same number of string instrument players and singers.
What you need to do is do the formula of Area=1/2×Height (Base B +Base A) Base B is bottom Base A is the top then you divide by 2 In this case 1/2 ×8/1 ×(12+15)=108
