Question

Miles is planning to spend 2/3 as many hrs bicycling this week as he did last week. Is Miles going to spend more hrs or fewer hrs bicycling this week than last week? ( I'm working on comparing fraction factors and products- multiplying fractions)

Answer 1

miles is going to spend less hours this week

Answer 2

He would be spending less time because  2/3 is not a full number. Let's make an equation out of the: 2/3(m). Note: 3(2) means 3 times 2 and the m is the amount of miles biked last week. We could insert the number 3 to our equation. 2/3(3). Now if you do it the proper way, it is 2/3(3/1) and if you do the math it is 6/3 aka 2. And 2 is less than 3. So it is less time spent
