Answer:
4/5
Explanation:
The question is asking you to find the ratio of Wednesday's time (2/3) to Tuesday's time (5/6). To do that, you divide the fractions:
... Wednesday / Tuesday = (2/3) / (5/6)
There are a couple of different methods you can use to divide fractions.
1. Invert the denominator and multiply.
When we invert 5/6, it becomes 6/5. So our division problem is now a multiplication problem:
... (2/3) × (6/5) = (2×6)/(3×5) = 12/15
This result can be reduced by removing a factor of 3 from numerator and denominator:
... Wednesday/Tuesday = 4/5
___
2. Make both fractions have the same denominator, then drop the denominators.
The denominators of the fractions in our ratio are 3 and 6. If we multiply 3 by 2, it becomes 6, so we can rewrite the numerator fraction as ...
... 2/3 = (2/3)×(2/2) = 4/6
Now, it has a denominator of 6 and our division problem is
... (2/3) / (5/6) = (4/6) / (5/6)
Dropping the (same) denominators gives ...
... Wednesday/Tuesday = 4/5
