Explanation:

B. The professor drops one unit. What fraction of the semester should be spent on each unit?
Solution
A.
A professor wants to divide the remaining 3/4 of the semester evenly into 6 different units
Total semester=3/4
Total units=6 units
Fraction of the semester that will be spent on each units = 3/4 ÷ 6
=3/4 × 1/6
=3/24
=1/8
1/8 of the semester will be spent on each units
B. If the professor drops one unit
That is 6 units - 1 unit = 5 units
Fraction of the semester that will be spent on each units=3/4 ÷ 5
=3/4 × 1/5
=3/20
