Here is how we are going to find the answer. Firstly, we need to know what is 4/5 of an hour. An hour has 60 minutes. So we divide 60 by 5 which is 12 and multiply this by 4 and we get 48 minutes. Since it took Hailey 1/8 the time it took Joel to do his chores, now we are going to know what is 1/8 of 48 minutes. We divide 48 by 8 and we get 6. Since it is only 1/8, therefore, the time that Halley took to do her chores is only 6 minutes. Hope this helps.
