Question

Rewrite each of the following time lengths in terms of years. Express your answer in decimal form.

Answer 1

1 month = 1/12 of a year (there are 12 months in a year)

6 months = 1/2 of a year (6/12 = 1/2)

9 months = 3/4 of a year (9/12 = 3/4)

12 months = 1 year

18 months = 1.5 years (18/12 = 1.5)

36 months = 3 years ( 36/12 = 3)

Answer 2

Explanation:

1 month = 1/12 of a year = 0.8333

6 months = 6/12 of a year = 0.5

9 months = 9/12 = 3/4 = 0.75 of a year

12 months = 12/12 = 1 year

18 months = 18/12 = 1.5 of a year

36 months = 36/12 = 3 years.
