Question

A rock band has 5 members, and 2/5 of the members play string instruments. Also, 0.4 of the members sing. Does the band have the same number of the string instrument players as singers? Explain

Answer 1

String 2/5 of 5 = 5 X 2/5 or just 2
Singer 5 X 0.4 = 2

2 equals 2
yes they have the same number playing strings as singing as both have 2 players

Answer 2

yes because 0.4=4/10 which is simplified to 2/5
