Given the statement:
Tyler has 3/4 of a month to write a book report. He finished the book in 2/3 that time.
Determine how much time did it take Tyler to write the report
Solution:
In order to determine the time it took Tyler to write the report, we simply needed to divide ⅔ by ¾ , hence it must be taken to note that in dividing a number, we must instead take its reciprocal and multiply.
= ⅔ / ¾
= (⅔)(4/3)
= 8/9
Multiply 8/9 by 30
= 80/3
= 26.6 days
Final answer:
= 26.6 days
