What fraction of the songs were country?

15/50 = 3/10
3 divided by 10 = 0.3
0.3 * 100 = 30%

Do the others the same way.

To find the fraction of the songs that were country, we need to divide the number of country songs by the total number of songs.

Number of country songs = 15
Total number of songs = 50

Fraction of country songs = number of country songs / total number of songs = 15 / 50

To simplify this fraction, we can divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5.

15 / 50 = (15 ÷ 5) / (50 ÷ 5) = 3 / 10

So, the fraction of the songs that were country is 3/10.

To find the fraction for each type of song, we divide the number of songs of each type by the total number of songs.

Number of rock songs = 20
Number of country songs = 15
Number of world songs = 10
Number of classical songs = 5
Total number of songs = 50

Fraction of rock songs = number of rock songs / total number of songs = 20 / 50 = 2 / 5
Fraction of country songs = number of country songs / total number of songs = 15 / 50 = 3 / 10
Fraction of world songs = number of world songs / total number of songs = 10 / 50 = 1 / 5
Fraction of classical songs = number of classical songs / total number of songs = 5 / 50 = 1 / 10

To find the equivalent percent, we can multiply the fraction by 100.

Equivalent percent of rock songs = fraction of rock songs * 100 = (2 / 5) * 100 = 40%
Equivalent percent of country songs = fraction of country songs * 100 = (3 / 10) * 100 = 30%
Equivalent percent of world songs = fraction of world songs * 100 = (1 / 5) * 100 = 20%
Equivalent percent of classical songs = fraction of classical songs * 100 = (1 / 10) * 100 = 10%

Therefore, the fraction and equivalent percent for each type of song are as follows:
Rock songs: 2/5 (40%)
Country songs: 3/10 (30%)
World songs: 1/5 (20%)
Classical songs: 1/10 (10%)
