Question

A butterfly can fly 1/5 mile in a minute. How long would it take the butterfly to fly 1/8 mile?A. 1/5 ➗ 1/8 = 8/5 minuteB. 1/8 ➗ 1/5 = 5/8 minuteC. 1/8 ➗ 1/5 = 1/40 minuteD. 1/5 ➗ 1/8 = 13/40 minute

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(5)\text{mile}\to1\min \\ (1)/(8)\text{mile}\to x \\ x=\frac{1\min \cdot(1)/(8)\text{mile}}{(1)/(5)\text{mile}} \\ x=(5)/(8)\min \end{gathered}`
