Question

Adele ate 1/4 of a hamburger in 5/6 of a minute. How many minutes will it take her to finish the entire hamburger?

Answer 1

3 minutes 20 seconds

Explanation:

Time taken to eat 1/4 of a hamburger = 5/6 minute

• The entire burger = 4/4
• Since 1 x 4 = 4, it will take 4 times the amount of time taken to eat 1/4 of a hamburger

Solving

• T = 5/6 x 4 minutes
• T = 20/6 minutes
• T = 3 2/6 mintues
• T = 3 minutes 20 seconds
