Question

It takes clay 1/2 hour to mow his lawn how much of the yard will be mowed after 1/3 hour

Answer 1

Explanation:

Clays rate is 1/2 hour per lawn. We can write this as Rate = 3/2 hr/lawn.

If Clay mows for 1/3 hour, we can determine the amount of lawn mowed by dividing the 1/3 hour by the rate:

(1/3 hr)/(3/2 hr/lawn) = (1/3)*(2/3) = 2/9 of a lawn.
