Students selecting songs

by thegirl » Mon Sep 03, 2007 7:06 am
In a survey of students, each student selected from a list of 12 songs, the 2 they liked the best. If each song was selected 4 times, how many students were surveyed...

Ans choices: 96, 48, 32, 24, 18

Thanks in advance.

12 songs selected 4 times = total of 48 songs.

Each student selects 2 songs. Hence total number of students
= 48/2 = 24
