Question

in a typical symphony orchestra 16 out of every 100 musicians are violinists what fractions of the orchestra are violinists ?

Answer 1

4 out of every 25 musicians are violinists.

Answer 2

Answer: Our required fraction is
`(4)/(25)`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of musicians = 100

Number of violinists = 16

We need to find the fractions of the orchestra are violinists :

Fraction will be

`=\frac{\text{number of violinists}}{\text{ Total number of musicians}}=(16)/(100)=(4)/(25)`

Hence, our required fraction is
`(4)/(25)`
