A restaurant took 1/8 of an hour to use 1/6 of a package of napkins. At this rate how,many hours would it take to use the entire package.

Respuesta :

1/8 hours  ---->   1/6 napkins
 ?? hours  ---->    1 napkins

?? = (1*1/8)/(1/6)
?? = 6/8 = 0.75 hours

60 minute * 0.75 = 45 minutes
1/8 of an hour is 7.5 minutes. If it took 7.5 minutes to use 1/6 of a package, then multiply 7.5 and 6 (reciprocal of 1/6) to get how many hours it would take to use the entire passage. The answer is 45 minutes or 3/4 of an hour
