Question

. William fills 1/3 of a water bottle in 1/6 of a minute. How much time will it
take him to fill the bottle?

Answer 1

Answer:

It will take him

$\frac{1}{2}$

of a minute to fill the bottle.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm really not sure this is right but..

we can solve using proportions. Cross-multiply and divide.

$\frac{ \frac{1}{3} of \: a \: water \: bottle}{\frac{1}{6} minute} \: = \frac{ \frac{3}{3} of \: a \: water \: bottle}{x} \\ \\ \frac{ \frac{1}{6} }{ \frac{1}{3} } = \frac{ \frac{1}{3} x}{ \frac{1}{3} } \\ \\ \frac{1}{2} = x$
