Question

Bakari deleted 64 songs from his ipod to make room for some new music.The ratio of deleted songs to songs he kept was 8 to 3. How many songs did bakari keep? How many songs were originally on his ipod?

Answer 1

The answer is he kept 24, and there were originally 88 songs

The math behind the answer is you divide 64/8 to come up with 8. You then multiply 3x8 to get 24. Last, you add 64 and 24 together to come up with 88
