Answer:Close to 60 country songs but probably not exactly 60 country songs.

Explanation:

Mekala player Jumble has 4 techno songs, 2 country songs, and 3 jazz songs on it.

Represent this songs in ratio format

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

Total number of songs is unknowns ,let it be represented by x

total number of songs is therefore 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 country songs = 2 × 30= 60

Number of jazz songs = 3 × 30= 90
