If a sprinkler waters 1 over 15 of a lawn in 1 over 3 hour, how much time will it take to water the entire lawn?

Feliz [49]

Now, a whole, will be 15/15 or 1 whole.

now, the sprinkler does 1/15 of the lawn in 1/3 of an hour, how long will it be to do the whole 15/15?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
lawn&hours\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
\frac{1}{15}&\frac{1}{3}\\\\
\frac{15}{15}&h
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{1}{15}\quad }{\frac{15}{15}}=\cfrac{\quad \frac{1}{3}\quad }{h}\implies \cfrac{1}{15}\cdot \cfrac{15}{15}=\cfrac{\quad \frac{1}{3}\quad }{\frac{h}{1}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1}{15}=\cfrac{1}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{h}\implies \cfrac{1}{15}=\cfrac{1}{3h}\implies 3h=15\implies h=\cfrac{15}{3}\implies h=5$
