Question

A student spent 4/7 of an hour each evening reading a book about whales. If it took the student 10 evenings to finish the book, how many hours in all did the student spend reading?

Answer 1

40/7

Explanation:

If the student read 4/7 of a book 10 times, that means that your equation would be

4/7 • 10 = 40/7

If you want to simplify that even further, you could get about 5.17, but 40/7 is the most simplified, correct answer.
