Answer: 100 songs; 150 songs; 50 songs

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a radio station plays 300 songs in a day in the following ratio:

Hip Hop, Coritos, and Country at a ratio of 2: 3:1.

The number of each song played goes thus:

Hip-hop = 2/(2+3+1) × 300

= 2/6 × 300

= 1/3 × 300

= 100 songs

Coritos = 3/(2+3+1) × 300

= 3/6 × 300

= 1/2 × 300

= 150 songs

Country = 1/6 × 300

= 50 songs
