On a cold winter night, it snowed all night long. The next morning, you shoveled 1/5 of the driveway in 2/5 of an hour. How many hours will it take to shovel the driveway?

Shoveling 1/5 of the driveway = 2/5 hours

Shoveling the entire driveway (5/5) would take 2/5 (the time it takes to shovel 1/5) times/multiplied by 5 (5/5 is the entire driveway)

2x5 is 10, so it would take 10/5 hours, which can be reduced to 2/1 or 2 hours to shovel the entire driveway.
