Question

The woodwind section of the middle school band makes up 1/4 of the band. There are 9 members in the woodwind section. Use the equation 1/4m= 9 to find the number of members (m) in the band.

Answer 1

36 members

Explanation:

Given that:

Woodwind section = 1/4 of the total band

Members if woodwind section = 9

Total members of band (m) :

1/4 * m = 9

m/4 = 9

Multiply both sides by 4

m/4 * 4 = 9 * 4

m = 36

Total band members = 36
