Question

Lamar has 5/6 of an hour of free time. It takes him 1/3 of an hour to play his favorite video game. How many whole games does he have time to play?

Answer 1

Let's divide the free time Lamar has by the time it takes him to play a whole game:

`(5)/(6)/(1)/(3)=(15)/(6)\rightarrow(5)/(2)\rightarrow2.5`

This way, we get that Lamar could play two and a half games. But since we're being asked by whole games, we can conclude that Lamar can play 2.
