Answer:

Explanation:

78 students....32 play wind instruments...half of the other members play percussion

so if u have 78 total students and 32 play wind instruments....

then the rest of the orchestra is : (78 - 32) = 46 members

half of the others play percussion.......so 46/2 = 23 members play percussion.

what fraction of the students play percussion.....

23/78 play percussion <==
