A clerk takes three fourths of an hour to process 9 applications. How long does it take the clerk to process 1 application

Answer 1

about 5 minutes: 60/4=15 then 15*3=45 and so 45/9 is 5 about 5 minutes an application

Answer 2

`(3)/(4)=75 \\ \\ (75)/(9)= (x)/(1) \\ \\ (9x)/(9)= (75)/(9) \\ \\ (75)/(9)=8.3 \\ \\ x=8.3 \\`
