Question

Latoya can plant 1/3of her garden in 2/5 hour. If she continues working at this rate, what fraction of Latoya’s garden can she plant in one hour?

Answer 1

Latoya can plant 5/6 of her garden in one hour.

Explanation:

☆We can solve using proportion!

`( (1)/(3 ) \: of \: garden )/( (2)/(5) \: of \: hour ) = (x)/(1 \: hour) \\ \\ \frac{ \: \frac { 2}{5}x }{ (2)/(5) } = ( (1)/(3) )/( (2)/(5) ) \\ \\ x = (5)/(6)`
