A Jerome's rock band recorded 13 songs during an afternoon recording session. Each song took 1/6 of a side of a tape to record. How many sides were used during the session?
Explanation: We know that each song took 1/6 of a side of tape to be recorded. To know how many tape sides were used to record 13 songs, all we have to do is cross multiplication as follows: 1 song ..................> 1/6 of a tape side 13 songs ..............> ?? tape sides
Number of tape sides = [(13) * (1/6)] / 1 number of tape sides = 2.1667 tape sides
