Answer:
number of tape sides = 2.1667 tape sides

Step-by-step explanation:
We know that each song took 1/6 of a side of tape to be recorded.
To know how many tape sides were used to record 13 songs, all we have to do is cross multiplication as follows:
1 song ..................> 1/6 of a tape side
13 songs ..............> ?? tape sides

Number of tape sides = [(13) * (1/6)] / 1
number of tape sides = 2.1667 tape sides

Hope this helps :)
