u would actually do both...because when ur dividing fractions, u end up multiplying....but u start with dividing.
6 / (1/3) =
6 * 3 = 18 <== ur answer

Answer: a. 18

Explanation:

Given : The time taken by you to type a memo=
(1)/(3)

The time ( in hours ), you have planned to work = 6 hours

Then , the number of memos you can type in that amount of time will be :_


6/(1)/(3)=6*(3)/(1)=18

Hence, the number of memos you can type in that amount of time = 18
