Question

In 2\3 of an hour, the workers had installed 2/5 of the flooring. At that rate, what fraction of the flooring is finished after 1 hour

Answer 1

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2/3 of an hour, the fraction of flooring installed = 2/5

Therefore:

`\begin{gathered} In\text{ 1 hour, the fraction of flooring installed} \\ =(2)/(5)/(2)/(3) \\ =(2)/(5)*(3)/(2) \\ =(3)/(5) \end{gathered}`

3/5 of the flooring is finished in 1 hour.
