Question

A water hose had filled up 1⁄3 of a pool after 1⁄2 of an hour. At this rate, how many hours would it take to fill the pool?

Answer 1

The answer is 1.5 hours because you have to multiply 1/2 by 3 since you’re working with thirds. For example, if the water hose only filled up 1/6 of the pool you would multiply 1/2 by 6.
