Answer:

16 songs.

Explanation:

If Aaliyah has 50 songs, but her phone can only hold a third of those songs, to solve this problem, we will have to find a third of 50.

Divide 50 into 3:


50 ÷
3


=16.6666...

As this decimal does not terminate, we'll have to round down to
16 since we cannot have a portion of the song downloaded.

Therefore, Aaliyah can download 16 songs on her phone.
