Question

Chelsea has four hours of free time on Saturday. She would like to spend no more than 2/3 of an hour on each activity. How many activities can she do during her time?

Answer 1

namely, how many times 2/3 goes into 4, well, let's just divide them then


`\bf \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{total hours}}{4}}{\stackrel{\textit{hours per activity}}{(2)/(3)}}\implies \cfrac{\quad (4)/(1)\quad }{(2)/(3)}\implies \cfrac{4}{1}\cdot \cfrac{3}{2}\implies \cfrac{12}{2}\implies 6`
