Answer 1

Rory is playing a video game where each game lasts 13⁄4 hours. He wants to play for 9 hours today and this evening.

13/4 hours taken to complete = 1 video game

9 hours taken to complete how many video games

`(13)/(4)` hours = 1 video game

9 hours =
`(9)/((13)/(4)) =9 * (4)/(13) = (36)/(13)`

We cannot simplify the fraction, we can write it as mixed fraction

`(36)/(13) = 2 (10)/(13)`

He can play
`2(10)/(13)` games in 9 hours
