Question

Dewayne read 3/8 of a chapter of his history book in 1/5 of an hour. At this rate how many chapters of his history book can he read in 1 hour

Answer 1

Explanation:

There are 60 min in an hour - 1/5 of an hour=20mim

3/8 x 5 = 15/8 = 1 & 7/8 chapters

Answer 2

6/8 of a chapter

Explanation:

3/8 = 1/2 of an hour

1/2 + 1/2 = 1

Basic Fact ^^

So, we need to add 3/8 + 3/8 or 3/8 x 2

We get : 6/8

He didn't read a whole chapter but he did read 6/8 of a chapter.
