Question

It takes Evan 3/4 hour to mow his backyard how much will the yard be mowed after 2/3 hour

Answer 1

88.88% or 8/9 of the yard is mowed

Explanation:

First step is to get the denominator to the same number. Both denominators have a least common multiple of 12.

3/4 * 3/3 = 9/12

2/3 * 4/4 = 8/12

9/12 hours is how long it takes Evan to mow his backyard. He has 8/12 hours of work already done. If we divide the time already passed by the time still needed to mow the backyard, we can get how much of the yard is already mowed.

(8/12) / (9/12)

8/12 * 12/9

96/108 = 88.88
