It took a mule 2/3 of an hour to go 4/5 of a mile.
\n" ); document.write( " At that pace, how long would it take the mule to go 1 mile?
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = time (in hrs) to go 4/5 mi
\n" ); document.write( "Time = dist/speed
\n" ); document.write( "t = \"%284%2F5%29%2F%282%2F3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "invert the dividing fraction and multiply
\n" ); document.write( "t = \"4%2F5\" * \"3%2F2\" = \"12%2F10\" = 1.2 hrs
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " How far would the mule go in an hour
\n" ); document.write( "Change 4/5 to .8 mi
\n" ); document.write( "\".8%2F1.2\" = \"2%2F3\" mi in 1 hr
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
