William fills 1/3 of a water bottle in 1/6 of a minute. How much time will it take him to fill the bottle

it will take him 30 seconds because 1/6 is 10 seconds and if he needs 3 times to fill one bottle then it is 30 seconds

(1)/(3) in
(1)/(6) min is:


((1)/(3))/((1)/(6)) =


(1)/((1)/(2)) = 2

Since he fills 2 bottles a minute, then it takes him 30 sec to fill one bottle.

Hope this helps :)
