Sagot :

Answer:Number of minutes of second  Song = 5 1/4 minutes

Number of minutes of third   Song =3 1/2  minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of minutes of First Song = 3 1/2 minutes

Number of minutes of second  Song = one 1/2 times as long as her first

= 1 1/2 X 3 1/2 minutes

3/2 X 7/2

21/4 = 5 1/4 minutes

Number of minutes of third   Song = 2/3 times as long as her second song

2/ 3 x 5 1/4

= 2/3 x 21/4 =42/12

Dividing the numerator and denominator by 3 to reduce the fraction

42/ 12 / 3/3 = 14/4

14/4 = 3 2/4 = 3 1/2  minutes
