The disc jockey plays 4 country- western record for every seven hip-hop record.
Ratio of country- western record to hip-hop record = 4x : 7x
Total records = 4x+7x=11x
Total Country western record = {4x}{11x}
= {4}/{11 }of the Total records
$$answer\ is\ Option\ D$$
Ratio of country- western record to hip-hop record = 4x : 7x
Total records = 4x+7x=11x
Total Country western record = {4x}{11x}
= {4}/{11 }of the Total records
$$answer\ is\ Option\ D$$
