You have to have the same unit of measure. Here your units are "minutes" and "seconds". In order to compare the two, you must change to 240 seconds into minutes (dividing by 60 = 4 mins) OR change the 5 minutes into seconds (multiply by 60 to give you 300 seconds)
Given that 1/3 of a box is 6 dollars, we can say that per dollar is 1/18 of a box. If you have 4 dollars, this would mean that you can buy 4/18 of a box to 2/9 of a box. Hope this answers your question. Have a great day ahead!
So first you need your denominators to be the same so you can multiply. They share a common denominator of 24. 2/3 equals 16/24 and 2/8 equals 9/24. So now you need to turn your fractions into mixed numbers and multiply. Which equals 2112/576. That # is way to big so then you simplify and get 11/3. so now you have 5 and 1/6 divided by 11/3. So now just flip the second fraction multiply it by its reciprocal. 31/6 X 3/11=___. So your final answer is 1 and 9/22
