Question

You are getting ready for a family vacation. You decide to download as many movies as possible before leaving for a road trip. If each movie takes 1 1/6 hours to download, and you download for 6 1/5 hours, how many movies did you download?

Answer 1

So set up equation as
1 movie is 1/6 hours or 1/(1/6)
n number of movies for 6(1/5) or n/(31/5)
So we have
1/(1/6) = n/(31/5)
Cross multiply
31/5 = 1/6n
Multiply both side by 6
186/5 = n
33.6 = n
Thus about 33 or 34 movies are being downloaded.
