Question

Cora has 1/2 hour to do 5chores. She palns to spend the same fraction of an hour on each chore. She wants to use the number line to help her determine what fraction of an hour she can spend on each chore

Answer 1

Hi! So to find this answer, you could do it two ways. Firstly, you could spend a major amount of time doing this in your head. Or second, you could use a calculator and do 30/5. This would give you 6. So 6 minutes on each chore.

Answer 2

If you want to use a number line create a number line going up to 30 (1/2 an hour). Then, divide it by 5 and then you can see that each section is 6 units.
So, she spends 6 min. on each chore.
6/60=1/10
She spends 1/10 of an hour on each chore.
