Respuesta :

Answer:

12 slides

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so we know that Val:

takes 1/6 hours to do each slide

has 2hrs

To figure this question out we have to divide fractions.

To divide a fraction you multiply the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor.

My simple dictionary:

Dividend - The First number in a fractional problem

Divisor - The second number in a fractional problem

Reciprocal - a fraction flipped upside down so that the numerator is now the denominator. For example 3/2 = 2/3

Now that that is done let's look at the problem.

We have to divide 2 by 1/6 or multiply 2/1 by 6/1

To multiply a fraction we just multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator.

2 x 6 = 12

1 x 1 = 1 (duh)

So, in conclusion, Val can create 12 slides in 2 hours :D

that was some really explicit stuff .-.
