63: Woodwind
Answered by

To find out the number of woodwinds, we need to determine the ratio of brass to woodwind instruments.
The given ratio is 63: Woodwind.
To find the number of woodwinds, we can set up a proportion using the given ratio and solve for Woodwind:
63/1 = 63/Woodwind
Cross-multiply:
63 * Woodwind = 63 * 1
Woodwind = 63
Therefore, we can expect to hear 63 woodwinds.

Apologies for the confusion. In that case, we can set up a proportion:
63 (number of brass) : x (number of woodwind) = 35 (provided option) : 1
Cross-multiply:
63 * 1 = 35 * x
63 = 35x
Divide both sides by 35:
63 / 35 = x
x ≈ 1.8
Since the number of woodwinds should be a whole number, we can round 1.8 to the nearest whole number. Therefore, we can expect to hear approximately 2 woodwind instruments.
