Question

I chop 1 5/6 onions in 2 3/8 minutes. How many onions do I chop in one minute?

Answer 1

Hey there!

`\rightarrow \boxed {\sf\{1 (5)/(6)} \: = 1.83`

`\rightarrow \boxed {\sf{2 (3)/(8)}} \: = 2.375`

Divide 1.83 by 2.375

`\rightarrow \boxed{ \sf \{1.83 / 2.375}`

`\rightarrow \: 0.770526315789473 \\ \approx \: 0.77`

Multiply 0.77 by 1

⇒ 0.77 × 1

⇒ 0.77

Convert into fraction

`\rightarrow \: 0.77 = (77)/(100) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\\ \: \rightarrow (0.77)/(1) * (100)/(100) \ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:`

`\rightarrow \: = (77)/(100)`
