Question

Sarge completed 1/10 of his report in 4/5 of an hour. At this rate, how much of the report will Sarge complete in 1 hour?

Answer 1

1/8

Explanation:

Rate is the change of a quantity per unit time

We are told Sarge completed 1/10 of his report in 4/5 of an hour.

We are going to equate the rate at 4/5hour to that of 1hour to get how much of the report Sarge will complete in 1 hour

(1/10)/x=(4/5)/1

0.10/x=0.8

Make x subject of the formula we have

X=1/8

Hence 1/8 of the report needed to be completed
