Answer 2

Answer:  

There will be 213 songs in each group.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the number of songs in each group is  $x$

As he has 4 different groups of songs, so the total number of songs in all 4 groups will be:  $(4*x)= 4x$

Given that, the mp3 player has a total of 852 songs. So, the equation will be........

$4x=852\\ \\ x=\frac{852}{4}=213$

So, there will be 213 songs in each group.
