Given the statement:

Doug can download new songs for $1.19 each.

Write an equation to show how many songs he can download for $12.00.

Solution:

Let x = number of songs.

The given condition can be represented as,

12/1.19 = x

In order to solve for x or the number os songs, we simply need to divide 12 by 1.19

12/1.19 = x

10.08 = x

Since we need the exact value then we can round to the nearest whole number.

x = 10

Final answer:

Dough can download 10 songs in total.
