He hoped he was somewhere close to what he was supposed to answering.

Ahem. This was simple math...Dylan tried to think about what his father might have answered with.

Ugh.

"The notes in range of octave would be...220 hertz...440 hertz...880 hertz...So, it would be from 440 hertz to 880 hertz...which is basically a 2 to 1 ratio in notes..." Did that make sense.

Math. Had he ever mentioned that he HATED it? No? Well, he did.

Was she just meant to use random numbers or? The blonde tapped her chin thoughtfully and instead listened to her classmates, scribbling down Dylan's example because it seemed legit. So...if he was on the right track then, "So if you used the number 310 hertz, the next would be erm...620 hertz? That would be the 2:1 ratio?"

"Tricky one, but yes. Though technically a 2 to 1 ratio would be 620 to 310. Or 880 to 440. Or 440 to 220. Or 310 to 155. You get the idea." Grin.

"So on that note, the ratio for minor 6th musical note exists 8 to 5. What's an example of frequency for that?"
