Answer 1

Rory is playing a video game where each game lasts 13⁄4 hours. He wants to play for 9 hours today and this evening.

 13/4 hours taken to complete = 1 video game

9 hours taken to complete how many video games

$\frac{13}{4}$ hours = 1 video game

9 hours = $\frac{9}{\frac{13}{4}} =9 * \frac{4}{13} = \frac{36}{13}$

We cannot simplify the fraction, we can write it as mixed fraction

$\frac{36}{13} = 2 \frac{10}{13}$

He can play $2\frac{10}{13}$ games in 9 hours
