There will be 6 bands competing in the finals.
To find 15% for the finals, you need to multiply the total number of bands by 0.15. There are 41 total bands.
41 x 0.15 = 6.15 or about 6 bands
4 option is incorrect which is EDCFGA
Answer: 6 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
1/8 x 2 = 1/8 x 2/1 = 2/8 = 1/4
1/4 x 3 = 1/4 x 3/1 = 3/4
3/8 x 4 = 3/8 x 4/1 = 12/8 = 1 4/8 = 1 1/2
1/2 x 3 = 1/2 x 3/1 = 3/2 = 1 1/2
5/8 x 1 = 5/8 x 1/1 = 5/8
3/4 x 2 = 3/4 x 2/1 = 6/4 = 1 2/4 = 1 1/2
Start with the big number first.
1 1/2 = 1 4/8
1 1/2 = 1 4/8
1 1/2 = 1 4/8
5/8 = 5/8
3/4 = 6/8
1/4 = 2/8
Add them all up.
1 4/8 + 1 4/8 = 2 8/8 = 3
3 + 1 4/8 = 4 4/8
4 4/8 + 5/8 = 4 9/8 = 5 1/8
5 1/8 + 6/8 = 5 7/8
5 7/8 + 2/8 = 5 9/8 = 6 1/8
