At Priscilla's Purse Warehouse, it takes 2 over 3 of a day to complete 1 over 9 of an order of purses. At this rate, how long will it take to complete the entire order of purses?

2/3 of a day = 1 purse
2/3 ×9 = or 2×9/ 3 =
= 18/3 = 18÷3 = 6
It will take 6 days to complete the entire order of purses

Answer: 6 days


Explanation:

Given: At Priscilla's Purse Warehouse,

It takes
(2)/(3) of a day to complete
(1)/(9) of an order of purses.

Thus, the number of days to complete
(1)/(9) of an order of purses=
(2)/(3)

∴ the number of days to complete 1 order of purses=
(2)/(3)*(9)/(1)=6

Hence, the number of days to complete the entire order of purses= 6 days
