Given that a company budgeted 5 1/4 hours to complete a project, determine how much time they spent on research if they spent 1/3 of the total budget.
First, convert the budget from hours into minutes.
5 1/4 hours = 315 minutes
1 hour = 60 min
1/4 hour = 15 min
60 x 5 = 300
300 + 15 = 315
Then, divide the minutes by 3 or multiply it by 1/3.
315 / 3 = 105
315 x 1/3 = 105
Lastly convert to a mixed number.
1 3/4 hour
Thus, the company plans to spend 1 3/4 hours or 1 hour and 45 minutes on research.
Remark
You have to read this carefully to know what way to write it.
One way you could write it would be
20 * x = 18 where x is the fraction. Now all you need do is divide.
Divide both sides by 20
20/20 * x = 18/20
But you should reduce this fraction. The way to do that is to factor 18 and 20 into primes.
18: 2 * 3 * 3
20: 2 * 2 *5
Cancel out the Highest common factor or 2.
You are left with
<<<< Answer
No because u would multiply to get a common denominator and it would be 4/6 5/6
In similar triangles ratios of corresponding sides are constant, so
|AB|/|DE| = |BC|/|EF|
5/10 = 8/|EF|
|EF| = (8*10)/5 = 16
|EF| = 16
