Question

Marissa dug three fifths of a hole in one tenth of an hour. Find the rate in holes per hour

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This might be easier to do in decimals. Let's try it.

3/5 = 0.6

1/10 = 0.1

rate = holes / hours

rate = 0.6/0.1

rate = 6 holes per hour

Try it with fractions.

rate =       $\frac{\frac{3}{5} }{\frac{1}{10} }$    Invert and multiply the 1/10

rate =  $\frac{3}{5} *\frac{10}{1}$ = 30/5 = 6

It's the same answer. Pick the method that you feel most comfortable with.
