Question

Ama downloaded 35 songs in 5 minutes. How many songs did she download per minute?

Answer 1

Hint: This question is from the topic of pre-algebra. In this question, we will find out how many songs Ama would download in one minute. In solving this question, we will first find out the ratio of total number of songs to total timing (in minutes) that takes to download the total number of songs. After that, we will find out the number of songs being downloaded in 1 minute. After that, we will see an alternate method to solve this question.

Complete step by step answer:
Let us solve this question.
In this question, we have asked to find the number of songs to be downloaded by Ama in a minute. In this question, we have given that Ama downloaded 35 songs in 5 minutes.
Let us first find out the ratio of the number of songs downloaded by Ama to the time taken in minutes to download those songs.
As we can see that it is given in the question that Ama has downloaded 35 songs in 5 minutes, so we can write the ratio as
\[\dfrac{\text{Total number of songs downloaded}}{\text{Total time taken in minutes to download the songs}}=\dfrac{35}{5}=7\]
It is given in the question that we have to find the total number of songs downloaded per minute or in minutes. So, we can write the ratio as
\[\dfrac{\text{Total number of songs downloaded in 1 minute}}{1}=7\]
So, we get that the number of songs downloaded in one minute will be 7.

Hence, we can say that Ama downloaded 7 songs per minute.

Note: We should have a better knowledge in the topic of algebra to solve this type of question easily. We can solve this question by an alternate method.
So, we know that
In 5 minutes, the number of songs downloaded is 35.
Then, we can say that
In 1 minute, the number of songs downloaded will be \[\dfrac{35}{5}=7\].
So, we can say she downloaded 7 songs per minute.
