    Answer:

    You download 32 rock songs.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    *im a 7th grader so dont trust me with this answer lol*

    The ratio 5 : 4 can also be written as the fraction 5/4.

    The ratio pop songs, 40 : rock songs, r can be written as the fraction 40/r

    Set an equation:

    40/r = 5/4

    Cross Multiply:

    5r = 160

    Divide 5 from both sides:

    r = 32

    There you have it, the amount of rock songs downloaded! Hopefully this helps!
