Question

Kobe worked 35 hours last month. This is 5/6 a of the number of hours he usually works in a month. How many hours does Kobe work in a month?

Answer 1

You can divide 35 by the numerator to find 1/6 of the hours. After finding 1/6 of the hours, multiply it by 6 to find the total amount of hours.
35/5=7
7•6=42
Kobe usually works 42 hours a month.
