Question

Sean read 1/5 of a book in 1 1/2 hours.

How long will it take Sean to read 1/2 of this book?

Enter your answer as a mixed number in simplest form in the box.

Answer 1

1/5 book = 1.5 hrs
1.5 x 5 = 7.5 hrs (to read whole book)
5 / 2 = 2.5 (half the book)
7.5 / 2 = 3.75 hrs
2.5/5 (half the book) will take 3.75 or 3 and 3/4 hrs.
