Question

It takes Ryan 1/5 hour to bike home from school. his biking speed is 10 mph

how far apart are the school and his house

Answer 1

1/50? I can’t be sure....

Ok, so.. first you write both the problems down and write the 10 as a fraction (so it would automatically be 10/1). Then invert so it would be a multiplication problem (1/5 x 1/10). Since you can’t cross cancel, you multiply across. So, 1/5 x 1/10 (1 x 1 and 10 x 5)
1/50
