The chart below represents the number of brass instruments (trumpets/trombones) in the marching band and the number of woodwinds (flutes/clarinets). If there are 63 brass in the band, how many woodwinds can we expect to hear?

If there are 63 brass instruments in the band, we can look at the chart to find the corresponding number of woodwinds.
From the chart, we can see that as the number of brass instruments increases, the number of woodwinds also increases.
So, we can expect to hear more woodwinds than brass instruments.
Given that there are 63 brass instruments, the corresponding number of woodwinds can be estimated as follows:
- For 35 brass instruments, there are 40 woodwinds.
- For 40 brass instruments, there are 45 woodwinds.
- For 45 brass instruments, there are 50 woodwinds.
- For 50 brass instruments, there are 55 woodwinds.
Since the number of woodwinds increases by 5 with every increase of 5 brass instruments, we can estimate that for 63 brass instruments, there would be approximately 68 woodwinds.
Therefore, we can expect to hear around 68 woodwinds.
