Her rate of working is:
( 1 table mat ) / ( 8 minutes )
---------------------------
This is the same as:
( 1/2 of a table mat ) / ( 4 minutes )
--------------------------------
Multiply the top and the bottom of this
fraction by +15+
-------------------
+%28+15%2A%28+1%2F2+%29%29+%2F+%28+15%2A4%29+
+%28%28+15%2F2+%29%29+%2F+60+
+7.5+%2F+60+
---------------
Since +60+ minutes = +1+ hr, her
rate of working is:
7.5 table mats per hour
