Final answer:
The best estimate for the number of songs on the CD is 56, assuming each song is on average 15 minutes long. You first convert the total hours of recorded music to minutes and then divide by the average song length.
Step-by-step explanation:
The original question seems to contain a typo regarding the average length of each song on the CD, as no song would have an average length of 15 hours. Assuming the correct average length of each song is 15 minutes, we can solve the problem.
To find the total number of songs on a CD with 14 hours of recorded music when each song lasts an average of 15 minutes, we first convert the total hours to minutes. We know that 1 hour equals 60 minutes, so 14 hours equals 14 × 60 = 840 minutes.
Then, we divide the total minutes of recorded music by the average length of each song:
- Total minutes of recorded music: 840 minutes
- Average length of each song: 15 minutes
To find the number of songs: 840 minutes ÷ 15 minutes/song = 56 songs
Thus, 56 songs would be the best estimate of the number of songs on the CD.
