Question

Amelia knits 1/10 of a scarf in 48 minutes. What fraction of a scarf can Amelia knit in 1 hour?

Answer 1

C: 1/8

1/10 x 48= 4.8

Answer 2

1/8

Explanation:

If you look at the 48 min., then you can see that 60 min and 48 have a GCF of 12. 48/12 is 4, so 1/10 should be divided by 4 too. that is 1/40. 12 * 5 is 60, so 1/10 should be multiplied by 5 too. That makes 1/8.
