Question

Fernando loves to make music playlists. He likes to keep the same ratio of country songs to rock songs. On his summer playlist, he has 100 country songs and 24 rock songs. On his road trip playlist, Fernando has 25 country songs.
How many rock songs are on Fernando's road trip playlist?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 6 rock songs on Fernando's road trip playlist.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that he keeps the ratio same

This means that the ratios for both summer playlist and trip playlist will be the same

Let

c1 be the country songs in summer playlist

r1 be the rock songs in trip playlist

Similarly,

c2,r2 will be the country and rock songs in trip playlist

Both will be equal so

$\frac{c_1}{r_1} = \frac{c_2}{r_2}$

Putting the values

$\frac{100}{24} = \frac{25}{r_2}\\100r_2 = 25*24\\100r_2 = 600r_2 = \frac{600}{100}\\r_2 = 6$

Hence,

There are 6 rock songs on Fernando's road trip playlist.
