Frannie put 2/3 of her music collection on an MP3 player. Vacation, she listen to 3/5 of music on the player. How much of Freddy's music collection did she listen to while on vacation? Describe how to solve the problem

Respuesta :

It is 2/3 of whole collection

then it is 3/5 of the 2/3

therefore she heard 3/5 of music in 2/3 of her collection

=3/5×2/5

=6/25

For this case we have that Frannie placed [tex]\frac {2} {3}[/tex]of her collection of music on the MP3 player, on vacation I hear [tex]\frac {3} {5}[/tex] of those [tex]\frac {2} {3}[/tex] of music. Now, to know how much music I hear on holiday we have the following rule of three:

If [tex]\frac {2} {3}[/tex]represent all of the music in the player, we want to know how much they represent [tex]\frac {3} {5}[/tex]

[tex]\frac {2} {3} ----------------> 1\\\frac {3} {5} ----------------> x[/tex]

Where "x" represents the amount of music heard on vacation:

[tex]x = \frac {\frac {3} {5} * 1} {\frac {2} {3}}x = \frac {9} {10}[/tex]

ANswer:

[tex]x = \frac {9} {10}[/tex]
