Question

If you paint 1/6 of a fence each day, how many day would it take you to paint 3/4 of the fence?

Answer 1

(3/4) / (1/6)

(3/4) * (6/1) = 18/4 = 4 2/4 = 4 1/2 days

Answer 2

First you make the two fractions the same so that's 4/24 and 18/24. As you can see you need to paint 18/24 so divide 18 by 4 and you get 4.5 so the answer is 4.5 days.
