Question

Mr. Evans can complete 2 1/3 crossword puzzles every 2/5 hours. How many crossword puzzles can Mr. Evans finish every one hour? (Answer must be as mixed number)

Answer 1

Explanation:

`2 (1)/(3) crosswords= (2)/(5) hours`

`(2(1)/(3) ) / 2 = (1)/(5)`

`1 (1)/(6) = (1)/(5)`

`(1)/(5) * 5 = 1 \: hour`

therefore;

[tex]1 \frac{1}{6} \times 5 = 1 \: hour[tex]

which equals to 5 and 5 sixth crosswords per hour
