Question

The ratio of the drummers to guitar players who tried out for a band is 28:14. If there are 84 drummers,how many musicians are there altogether?

Answer 1

Answer: 42

Step-by-step explanation:

28 : 14 = 84 : 42

Answer 2

Since 28x3 gives you 84, the number of drummers, you would also need to apply that to the number of guitar players. 14x3=42. Since the question asks how many musicians there are in total, just add the number of drummers and guitar players together. 84+42=126.


There are 126 musicians altogether.
