Question

Melinda paints 7/8 of a wall in 1 1/6 hours. what part of a wall does Melinda paint in 1 minute

Answer 1

1 1/6 hours is equal to 60 minutes add 10 minutes = 70 minutes
7/8 takes 70 minutes
To find out what can be done in 10 minutes, divide both numbers by 7
7/8 / 7 = 1/8
1/8 takes 10 minutes
To find out how much is painted in 1 minute, divide both by 10
1/8 / 10 = 1/80

1/80 takes 1 minute
