Question 1126396: tim needs to fill three 20l barrels with oil. if his oil dispenser flows at 100 ml/s, how long will it take him to fill
the 3 containers? (in minutes)
John drove for 6 hours. In that time he managed to complete 2/6 of his journey.
What is the total length of his journey?
for both questions please show formulas (with equasions) and . . . . feel free to use algebra or decimals
Regarding the 2/6ths fraction can someone tell me if we change 6 to 1/6ths? Do they both have to be fractions to proceed? Can we convert both to decimals?
thanks

See above.

?
What?

2%2F6=2%2F%282%2A3%29=1%2F3

You can convert to a decimal form if you like.
1.00000 divided by 3;
Really meant as 1.00000, with repeating 0 digits, divided by whole number 3.
You can do the long-division procedure on your own unless you want help on this.
Result is 0.33333333333 repeating the digit 3 without end.
