Question

At Priscilla's Purse Warehouse, it takes fraction 2 over 3 of a day to complete fraction 1 over 9 of an order of purses. At this rate, how long will it take to complete the entire order of purses?

Answer 1

(2/3) / (1/9) = x / 1....2/3 day to 1/9 order = x days to 1 order
cross multiply
(1/9)(x) = (2/3)(1)
1/9x = 2/3
x = 2/3 * 9
x = 18/3
x = 6 days <==
