2/5 of the students in the band are in the trumpet section. 1/2 of the students in the band are in the trombone section. What fraction of the students in the band are in either the trumpet section or the trombone section? Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number
I MIGHT GIVE BRAINLIEST

15 students play trumpet. That's 1/2 of the brass, so 15 * 2 = brass people = 30

30 people are brass. That's 3/5 of the total number, so 30 * 5/3 = total number.

30 * 5/3 = t

10 * 5 = t

50 = t

50 people are trying out for the band.

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )
