Question

Kelly has 114 hours to complete 3 chores before leaving for soccer practice. If she spends an equal amount of time on each chore, which of the following could Kay use to find the part of an hour each chore will require?

Answer 1

She could do 1 chore in 38 hours. you could make an equation by doing 3/x=114

Answer 2

Answer:

5/4 times 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

I got my answer because it said she has 1 1/4 hours to do her 3 chores and there is a mixed number in the problem so convert that mixed number to an improper and you get 5/4. Now the 3 is a whole number so we have to change that to an improper as well and that would be 3/1. Next we have to find the reciprocal of 3/1 and that would be 1/3 then you add a multiplication sign to the problem and it should look like this.

5/4 x 1/3
