Question

Two fifths of the instruments in the marching band are brass, one third are percussion, and the rest are woodwinds. A)What fraction of the band is woodwinds?
B)One half of the woodwinds are clarinets. What fraction of the band is clarinets?
C)One eighth of the brass instruments are tubas. If there are 240 instruments in the band, how many are tubas?
THANK YOU!
2/5 + 1/3 = 6/15 + 5/15 = 11/15
That leaves 4/15 as woodwinds.

So, 2/15 are clarinets

2/5 * 240 * 1/8 = 12 are tubas
It is a little confusing but how do you 5/15and 6/15


not the right thing
