Evelin Booker · Answer 1

1/6 percussion

1/3 wood winds = 2/6 (which is twice as many as percussion)

1/2 brass = 3/6 (which is three times as many as percussion)

So percussion = 3

wood winds = 6

brass = 9

all together = 3 + 6 + 9 = 18

Lawson Gordon · Answer 2

1/6 of what is 3

1/6x = 3

x = 3 x 6

x = 18 ... total musicians are 18
