Asked by Maria

5/8 of the 64 musicians in a music contest are guitarists. Some of the guitarists play jazz solos, and the rest play classical solos. The ratio of the number of guitarists playing jazz solos to the total number of guitarists in the contest is 1:4. How many guitarists play classical solos in the contest?
Answered by Ms. Sue
5/8 * 64 = 40

1/5 = x/40

5x = 40

x = 8 play jazz
