Question

I have read for 1 3/5 hours and I am 4/9 of the way through my book. How long will it take me to finish the book? _ hours

Answer 1

2 hours

1. divide 9 by 4 which = 2.25
2. multiple that by 1.6 (1 3/5 hours in decimal form)
3. you get 3.6 hours which is how long it takes you to read the book
4. subtract from 1.6 because you’ve already read that
