Question

If it takes 1/2 day to write a report, how much will be completed after 1/4 of a day?

Answer 1

You have completed only half in a 1/4 of a day

Explanation:

think of it this way

lets say in half a day e.g at 12pm you finish the report

half of 12 is 6

so that would be a 1/4 of the day

100%=24 hours=whole day

50%=12 hours=half a day

25%=6 hours = quarter of a day

25% = 1/4

i hope this helps

Answer 2

Half report will be written in 1/4 of a day

Explanation:

Time to write complete report = 1/2 day

So by ratio and proportion

Report : Time of day

1 : 1/2

x : 1/4

By cross multiplication

1/4 * 1 = 1/2 * x

X = 2 * 1/4

X = 1/2

So half report will be written in 1/4 of a day
