If an entire job can be done in 5 hours and 20 minutes how much of the job can be done in one hour. The equation is supposed to be in fractions.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "5 hours and 20 minutes is the same as:
\n" ); document.write( "5 + 20/60
\n" ); document.write( "5 + 1/3
\n" ); document.write( "15/3 + 1/3
\n" ); document.write( "16/3 hours
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "your equation is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"time\" * \"rate\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"time\" is one hour
\n" ); document.write( "\"rate\" is 1 job per 16/3 hours
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "1(1/(16/3))
\n" ); document.write( "1(3/16)
\n" ); document.write( "3/16 of the entire job can be done in an hour
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
