Question

A hard drive has enough storage space left for 7 1/2 hours of TV programmes. How many programmes each lasting 5/6 of an hour can be recorded on the hard drive?

Answer 1

9

Explanation:

7 1/2 divided by 5/6 would equal 9.

first step: convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.

7 1/2 = 15/2

2nd step: change the operation. (KCF)

keep the first term - change the operation - flip the second term

so, 15/2 x 6/5 =.

15x6=90

2x5=10

90/10 = 9

hope it helps!
