2/45

3 3/5

3/5

3​

Answer 1

Battery is down currently = 2/5

Battery drains at the rate of 1/9 every hour.

Remaining battery life of Vera = 1 -2/5 = 3/5

Let y we the number of hours battery will last.

So, 1/9 y = 3/5

y = 27/5

y = 5 + 2/5 hours

y = 5 hrs and 24 mins

So battery will last another 5 hrs and 24 mins.

hope this helps:)
