Question

WHO EVER ANSWERS CORRECTLY GETS BRAINYEST!

If a sprinkler waters 1 over 8 of a lawn in 1 over 4 hour, how much time will it take to water the entire lawn?

3 over 8 hour
1 over 2 hour
2 hours
4 hours

Answer 1

First simplify

1/2=1

1/8=1/4

In one hour a quarter(fourth) of the field is watered, in 4 hours the field is completely watered

Answer 2

it will take 4 hours because to get the 1/8 to a whole you have to multiply by 8. and 1/4*8=8/4=2 hours
