Question

Richard can read 1/4 of a book in 3/5 of an hour. At this rate, how much can Richard read in one hour

Answer 1

3/5 hour ⇒ 1/4 of the book

Find 1/5 hour:
1/5 hour ⇒ 1/4 ÷ 3 = 1/4 x 1/3 = 1/12 of the book

Find 5/5 (1 hour):
5/5 hour ⇒ 1/12 x 5 = 5/12 of the book

Answer: 5/12 of the book
