Question

CAN I GET HELP PLEASE!

Answer 1

Answer:

0.30 of a book / hour or 3/10 of a book per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Usually I tell people to put the numbers into decimals. Unfortunately for this question, it won't work. So we have any choice but to do it with fractions.

r = amount / time

amount = 1/4

time = 5/6

r = $\frac{\frac{1}{4} }{\frac{5}{6} }$

Invert the denominator and multiply

r = $\frac{1}{4} * \frac{6}{5}$

r = 6 * 1 / (5*4) = 6/20 = 3/10

The answer is 3/10 of a book per hour

5/6 of an hour is almost an hour.

1/4 of a book is 0.25 of a book.

3/10 of a book is 0.30 of a book. So it looks like it is just about right.
