Question

it takes Joey 1/16 of an hour to write one Thank you card how many cards can he write in 3/4 of an hour?

Answer 1

12 cards

Explanation:

Divide 3/4 hr by 1/16 hour per card:

12/16 hr divided by 1/16 hr per card is equivalent to (12/16 hr)(16/1 card/hr),

or 12 cards. Joey can write 12 cards in 3/4 hr.

Answer 2

To solve this problem you will need to use the cross product method:

1/16 of an hour → write 1 card

3/4 of an hour → write X cards

(3/4) ÷ (1/16) = X

0.75 ÷ 0.0625 = X

12 = X

Joey can write 12 Thank you cards in 3/4 of an hour.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
