Question

If Beyoncé performed as many songs as

Robyn per capita, how many would you
expect Beyoncé to sing?

Answer 1

Around 20

You can use the Distributive property-

To “distribute” means to divide something or give a share or part of something. According to the distributive property, multiplying the sum of two or more addends by a number will give the same result as multiplying each addend individually by the number and then adding the products together.

Answer 2

20 songs

Explanation:

Robyn sang a total of 13 songs for a population of 62000 people, the per capita is the ratio of the total songs sang to the total number of people. Hence:

Robyn per capita = songs performed / population = 13 / 62000

Beyonce sang to a population of 91000 people, given that Beyonce and Robyn had the same per capita, therefore:

Beyonce per capita = songs performed / population

13/62000 = songs performed / 91000

songs performed = 13/62000 × 91000 = 19.08

songs performed ≈ 20 songs

Beyonce is expected to sing about 20 songs
