If he reads 1/3 of the book in one hour, the ratio of book to hours is 1/3:1. We just apply it to 2 1/5 (11/5) and we have our answer. 1/3x11/5 is 11/15. 11/15 is your answer.

Answer:

11/15

Explanation:

You want to know how much of a book Ronald will read in 2 1/5 hours at the rate of 1/3 book in 1 hour.

Quantity

To find the quantity, multiply the rate by the time.

q = r·t

q = (1/3 bk/h)·(2 1/5 h) = (1/3)(11/5) bk = 11/15 bk

Ronald will read 11/15 of a book in 2 1/5 hours.
