Question

Charlotte bought 16 songs for her MP3 player. Three-fourths of the songs are classical songs. How many of the songs are classical songs?

Answer 1

I think 8 are classical songs

Answer 2

12 songs because if you look at the problem there is the word “of”. The word of means multiply, so if you make 16 into fraction that is 61/1 and multiply that my 34 the word problem is,16/1 x 3/4= 48/4 and 48 over 4 is equal to 12 and that is 12 songs.
