If I listen to 1/2 of a song in 2/5 of a minute, how many songs can I listen to in 10 minutes?

2/5 of a min. is 24 seconds. 24×2=48(for a whole song). 10×60(seconds)= 600 seconds. 600÷48= 12.5(total seconds÷seconds for a whole song). so answer is 12.5. That's what I came up with.

Answer:

12.5 songs

Explanation:

2/5 of 1 minute is 24 seconds, so assuming that all the songs on your playlist are 48 seconds long, you can listen to about 12.5 songs.

(60 seconds x 10 = 600) divided by 48 seconds
