It takes joey (whose name should begin with a capital letter) 1/16 of an hour to write one thank you card. How many cards can he write in 3/4 of an hour? This boils down to "how many sixteenth of an hour are in 3/4 of an hour?" In other words, what must we multiply 1/16 by to get 3/4?This means we must solve: (1/16)m = 3/4.If we multiply both sides of that by 16, we get m=16(3/4).  Can you finish this calculation?
