Question

The frequency of the musical note E3 is about 164.81 Hz.

Answer 1

Answer: 247.215 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in music theory, a perfect fifth is a musical interval having inverse perfect fourth that corresponds a pair of pitches with a frequency ratio of 3:2.

Let the  frequency of the note a perfect fifth above $E_3$ be x, then we have the following proportion.

$x:164.81::3:2\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{3\times164.81}{2}=247.215$

Hence, the  frequency of the note a perfect fifth above $E_3$ is 247.215 Hz.

Answer 2

A perfect fifth above a note has a frequency ratio of 3 to 2.
Therefore, we can set the proportion:
164.81 : x = 2 : 3

which gives:
x = 164.81 × 3 ÷ 2
   = 247.21

Hence, the perfect fifth above E₃ will have a frequency of 247.21Hz which corresponds to a B₃.
