Question

Mrs. Patel weeds 1/6 of her garden in 5/12 of an hour. If Mrs. Patel continues weeding at the same rate, what fraction of her garden will she weed in one hour?

Answer 1

Mr. Patel weeds 1/6 of her garden in 5/12 of an hour

5/12 of an hour = 5/12 x 60 =25 minutes

By way of ratio in 1 hour which is equal to 60 mins she will cover

`\begin{gathered} ((1)/(6))/(x)=(25)/(60) \\ \\ 25x\text{ = }(1)/(6)*60 \\ 25x=10 \\ x=(10)/(25) \\ x=(2)/(5) \end{gathered}`
