Question

Hannah played 4 songs in 5/8 hour. 

Find the unit rate of songs per hour and use it to find how many songs she can practice in 1 hour.
Answer as a mixed number in simplest form.

​

Answer 1

In 1 hour, Hannah will play 6 2/5 songs, or 32/5.

To get from 5/8 to 1, you have to multiply by the number 1 3/5 (5/8 • 1 3/5 = 1). So, you multiply 4 by 1 3/5 too. (4 • 1 3/5) This gets you to the final answer, 6 2/5.
