Question

A band expects to put 15 songs on their next cd. The band writes and records 60 songs. How many songs will not be included on the cd?

1) 45
2) 30
3) 15
4) 0

Answer 1

After subtracting the number of songs going on the CD (15) from the total number of songs written (60), the answer is that there will be 45 songs not included on the CD.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a band expects to put 15 songs on their next CD and they write and record 60 songs, to find out how many songs will not be included on the CD we simply subtract the number of songs going on the CD from the total number of songs recorded.

60 songs written − 15 songs on the CD = 45 songs not included

To find the number of songs that will not be included on the CD, we subtract the number of songs to be included from the total number of songs. In this case, the band expects to put 15 songs on the CD and has written and recorded 60 songs. So, the number of songs that will not be included is 60 - 15 = 45.

Therefore, the number of songs that will not be included on the CD is 45. So the correct answer is option 1) 45.
