Eric plans to wash his windows to earn money. He can wash 5 windows in 1/3 hour. If he continues at the same rate,
how many hours will it take will Eric take to wash 135 windows?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

135%2F5 = x%2F%281%2F3%29,   or

27 = x%2F%28%281%2F3%29%29 --->  x = 27%2A%281%2F3%29 = 9 hours.


Or, in other words, 15 windows per hour ---> 135/15 = 9 hours.

5 windows in 1/3 hour is 15 windows per hour (Multiply by 3)
Divide 135 by 15.
