Given the statement:
Martin had 12 songs on his MP3 player. He was able to buy more songs, and he now has 3 1 3 as many songs.
Determine how many songs does Martin have.
Solution:
The given condition is not clearly stated, but we can assume that 3 1 3 is 3 ⅓ therefore we simply multiply 12 by 3 ⅓ or 3.3333
= 12 (3.333..)
= 40
Final answer:
Martin has a total of 40 songs.
