Question

Mekala has an MP3 player called the Jumble. The Jumble randomly selects a song for the user to listen to. Mekala's Jumble has 4 techno songs, 2 country songs, and 3 jazz songs on it. Mekala plans to listen to 270 songs.

Answer 1

Mekala Jumble has 4 techno songs, 2 country songs, and3 jazz songs on it.

Ratio of techno songs,to country songs,to jazz songs= 4: 2 : 3

Whatever be total number of songs, let the number of techno songs, country songs,and jazz songs be 4 x, 2 x, and 3 x.

Total number of songs that Mekala plans to Listen = 2 70

Then , 4 x + 2 x + 3 x= 270

9 x = 270

Dividing both sides by 9, we get

x = 30

So, Number of techno songs = 4 × 30= 120

Number of techno songs = 2 × 30= 60

Number of jazz songs = 3 × 30= 90

Option (b) b) Close to 60 country songs but probably not exactly 60 country songs ,is true option regarding number of songs listen by Mekala.
