Coleton just bought a new mp3 player. It has a capacity of 1,000 minutes. He has already downloaded 304 minutes of music. Each song he can download is 4 minutes in length. Coleton wants to know how many more songs he can download until the mp3 player is full.

Question

Is 76 songs a reasonable answer?

Yes, 76 is reasonable.
No, 696 is reasonable.
No, 375 is reasonable.
No, 174 is reasonable.

Answer 1

First, let's determine how many minutes of capacity Coleton has left on his mp3 player.

1. Total capacity of the mp3 player: 1,000 minutes
2. Minutes already downloaded: 304 minutes

To find out how many minutes are left, we subtract the minutes already downloaded from the total capacity:

\[ 1,000 - 304 = 696 \text{ minutes} \]

Next, we need to know how many songs Coleton can still download. Each song is 4 minutes long, so we divide the remaining minutes by the length of each song:

\[ \frac{696 \text{ minutes}}{4 \text{ minutes/song}} = 174 \text{ songs} \]

Now, let’s compare this with the options provided:

• 76 songs: This is not reasonable since Coleton can download more.
• 696: This is actually the number of remaining minutes, not songs.
• 375 songs: This is not reasonable since he doesn't have that many minutes left.
• 174 songs: This matches our calculation.

Therefore, the correct response is:

No, 174 is reasonable.
