Question

Mark transferred songs from his computer onto his portable music player. He transferred 2 6/7 songs in 1 2/3 minutes. How many songs did he transfer per minute?
A. 7/12 songs per minute
B. 1 5/7 songs per minute
C. 2 2/3 songs per minute
D.4 16/21 songs per minute

Answer 1

(2 6/7) / (1 2/3) = X/1

first cross multiply and turn mixed numbers to improper fractions.

5/3 = 20/7

X = 20/7*3/5

X = 60/35 = 15/7 songs per unit.
