Question

I have ¾ of an hour to finish 6 homework assignments. How much time can I spend on each assignment?

Answer 1

7 and a half minutes

Explanation:

this is because 15 is 1/4 of a hour and 7 and a half is half of 15 if you spend 7 and a half on all homework assignments you will use up 45 minutes or 3/4 of a hour

Answer 2

3/4 x 6=18/4

Explanation:

Reduce fraction to lowest terms

18 over 4

18 /4

= ( 18 ÷ 2 ) over ( 4 ÷ 2 )

18 ÷ 2

4 ÷ 2

= 9 over 2

9 /2

2 is the greatest common divisor of 18 and 4. Reduce by dividing both numerator and denominator by 2.

Step 2 of 2: Simplify, sub-step b: Convert improper fraction to mixed number.

Convert improper fraction to mixed number

9 over 2

9 /2 = 4 and 1 over 24

1 /2

9 ÷ 2 = 4 remainder 1
