Set up a proportion!
40 minutes / 5 holes = m minutes / 20 holes
Cross multiply.
800 = 5m
m = 160.
It will take him 160 minutes to dig 20 post holes.
Good luck Fabian!
Hope this helps
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
As you know, dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by that fraction's inverse (or reciprocal). Any whole number is equivalent to the fraction that is that whole number divided by 1. (For example, 4 = 4/1.)
-1/7 is the correct answer for slope
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The left hand side of the equation contains proper fractions while the right hand side of the equation contains mixed fraction. The mixed fraction can be changed to improper fraction. 1 2/3 becomes 5/3
To breakdown the left hand side of the equation, we would take lowest common factor of 5 and 15. It is 15
Considering 4/5, if 15 divides 5,the result is 3. Multiplying 3 by 4 gives 12. So it becomes
12/15
Considering 13/15, if 15 divides 15,the result is 1, Multiplying 1 by 13 gives 13. So it becomes
13/15
The equation becomes
(12 + 13)/15 = 5/3
25/15 = 5/3
Simplifying 25/15 to its lowest terms, it becomes 5/3 so
5/3 = 5/3
