Question

Eugin plays a game of chess in 4/5 of an hour. How long will take him to play 6 games of chess?

Answer 1

If Eugin plays one game of chess in 4/5 of an hour, he plays 1/(4/5) = 5/4 games of chess in one hour.

Therefore, he will play 6 games of chess in (6 / (5/4)) = (6 * 4/5) = 24/5 hours, which is equivalent to 4 4/5 hours or 4 hours and 48 minutes.

Answer 2

Hello!

To find the amount of time it takes Eugin to play 6 games of chess, we will need to multiply the amount of time it takes to play one game, by the amount of games he plays, which is 6 games.

Since we're multiplying fractions together, we do not need to change the denominator or find the least/greatest common factor. :)

4/5 x 6 = 24/5

If we were to convert the improper fraction, 24/5, to a mixed fraction, we would divide 24 by 5, and make the remainder into a fraction.

24/5 = 4 R4 = 4 4/5

Therefore, it will take Eugin 4 4/5 hours to complete 6 games of chess.
