Question

A radio station requires DJs to play 4 commercials for every 36 songs they play. What is the unit rate of songs to commercials?

Answer 1

The correct answer for this question is that the unit rate is 5:1.

Explanation:

We can work this out by simplifying down the 2 commercials to every 10 songs ration, so that 10:2 becomes 5:1. We can work this out by halving the original ratio to simplify it.
