If a sprinkler waters 1 over 8 of a lawn in 1 over 4 hour, how much time will it take to water the entire lawn? (1 point)


4 hours

2 hours

3 over 8 hour

1 over 2 hour

Respuesta :

It would take 2 hours. To complete the whole lawn you would need:
[tex] \frac{8}{8} [/tex]
To make a whole, so to get that we multiply:
[tex]8 \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{8}{8} [/tex]
So we use the same number required for the whole lawn, and multiply it times the hours
[tex] \frac{1}{4} \times 8 = 2[/tex]
It will take 2 hours
