First part is 32 4/5 = 8 1/5x. Divide both sides by 8 1/5 and the answer is 4

Explanation:


(a)\\h-\text{number of hours}\\\\8(1)/(5)\cdot h=32(4)/(5)\\(b)\\\text{convert the mixed numbers to the improper fractions}\\\\(8\cdot5+1)/(5)h=(32\cdot5+4)/(5)\\\\(41)/(5)h=(164)/(5)\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 5}\\\\41h=164\qquad\text{divide both sides by 41}\\\\h=4


\text{Answer:\ 4\ hours}
