someone plz help me!!!!!

Answer 1

28/8 = 3 remainder 4 so 3 4/8(fraction) or 3 1/2
You would want to divide the minutes to the songs so you can find out how long one song is, but sense there was a remainder you could turn it into a fraction or you could keep diving. In this case you would want to stop. To find the fraction here is a formula the divisor is the denominator, the numerator is the remainder and the whole number is the number you get that is behind the remainder
