she will fill 5/8 of the tank in 1 hour
Ashley is the utilities manager at a paper mill. She’s watching over one of her holding tanks. It takes 4/5 of an hour to fill 1/2 the tank
First we convert 4/5 of an hour in to minutes
4/5 * 60 = 48 minutes
In 48 minutes ----> 1/2 tank filled
In 60 minutes ----> 60 * 1/2 divide by 48
30 divide by 48= 30/48
Simplify the fraction by dividing top and bottom by 6
30/48 = 5/8
