Question

Kelly is knitting a scarf for her brother. It took her 1/3 hour to knit 3/8 foot of the scarf. How fast is Kelly's knitting speed, in feet per hour?

Answer 1

1 1/8 feet or 9/8 feet

Explanation:

Answer 2

Kelly's knitting speed is 1 foot 1.5 inches per hour.

Explanation:

1. Convert the fractions to decimals/numbers: 1/3 hour = 15 minutes. 3/8 of 12 is 4.5.

2. Multiply these numbers to make 1 hours worth. Remember to always multiply both numbers by the same number.

15x3=60

4.5x3=13.5

13.5= 1 foot 1.5 inches.
