Answer 1

It will take 3 3/4 hours to sew 1/2 of a jean pair

Here, we want to get the amount of time it will take to sew 1/2 of a pair of jean

To answer this, we shall use the direct relation system

We have this as follows;

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(5)\text{ pair= 1}(1)/(2)\text{ hours} \\ \\ (1)/(2)\text{ pair = x hours} \\ \\ \\ x\text{ }*\text{ }(1)/(5)\text{ = }(1)/(2)*\text{ 1}(1)/(2) \\ \\ (x)/(5)\text{ = }(1)/(2)\text{ }*\text{ }(3)/(2) \\ \\ x\text{ = }(5*3)/(2*2) \\ \\ x\text{ = }(15)/(4) \\ \\ x\text{ = 3}(3)/(4)\text{ hours} \end{gathered}`
