Question

A share of patrols several neighborhoods in our patrol car. It requires 4/15 of an hour to patrol an entire neighborhood. How many entire neighborhoods can she patrol in 8/9 of an hour?

Answer 1

`(4)/(15) n = (8)/(9)`

`n = ( (8)/(9) )( (15)/(4) ) = (120)/(36) = (10)/(3) = 3 (1)/(3)`

She can patrol 3 entire neighborhoods in 8/9 of an hour.
