Question

In a music room, the ratio of clarinets to the number of flutes was 3:4. After the school bought another 24 flutes, the ratio became 3:8. How many clarinets were there in the music room?

Answer 1

There are 16 clarinets in the music room.

Answer 2

24 flutes make another 4 parts, meaning that each part is 6 instruments.

6x3=18.

There were 18 clarinets.

Hope this helps :)
