Question

Sarah is planning on running 2/3 as many hours this week as she did last week. Is Sarah planning on running more or less this eek than she did last week?

Answer 1

Sarah is planning on running LESS than she did last week.

Explanation:

This is a multiplication problem beacuse its 2/3rd's of EACH hour.

Imagine if Sarah ran 6 hours. If you multiply that by 2/3, you will get 4

`(6)/(1) * (2)/(3) = (12)/(3) = 4`

If Sarah ran 6 hours last week then she will only run 4 hours this week.
