Answer:

9 songs

Step-by-step explanation:

It is giving that;

The slideshow is 31 whole number 1/2 minutes long

convert to an improper fraction

31×2+1/2 = 63/2

The songs are each 3 whole number 1/2 minutes long

convert to an improper fraction

3×2+1/2 = 7/2

To find the number of songs that Marcus is picking to play during a slideshow, divide the slideshow by the long of one song

(63/2) / (7/2)

= 9 songs.
