Example Questions

Example Question #41 : Grade 7

Kylie can clean $\frac{1}{12}$ of a house in $\frac{1}{4}$ of an hour. If she continues this rate, how much of the house can Kylie clean per hour?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{12}\textup{ of the house per hour}$

$\frac{2}{3}\textup{ of the house per hour}$

$\frac{1}{6}\textup{ of the house per hour}$

$\frac{1}{2}\textup{ of the house per hour}$

$\frac{1}{3}\textup{ of the house per hour}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{3}\textup{ of the house per hour}$

Explanation:

The phrase "per hour" gives us a clue that we are going to divide. In this problem, we can replace the word "per" with a division sign; therefore, we will have the portion of the house, $\frac{1}{12}$ , divided by hours, $\frac{1}{4}$ :

$\frac{\ \frac{1}{12}\ \textup{of a house}}{\ \frac{1}{4}\ \textup{hours}}$

Remember that when we divide fractions, we can simply multiply by the reciprocal of the denominator to solve.

$\frac{1}{4}\rightarrow \frac{4}{1}$

Therefore:

$\frac{1}{12}\times\frac{4}{1}=\frac{4}{12}=\frac{1}{3}$

Kylie can clean $\frac{1}{3}$ of the house per hour.

Greg can complete $\frac{1}{6}$ of his homework in $\frac{1}{3}$ of an hour. If he continues this rate, how much of his homework can Greg complete per hour?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{5}\textup{ of homework}$

$\frac{1}{3}\textup{ of homework}$

$\frac{1}{2}\textup{ of homework}$

$\frac{1}{6}\textup{ of homework}$

$\frac{1}{4}\textup{ of homework}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The phrase "per hour" gives us a clue that we are going to divide. In this problem, we can replace the word "per" with a division sign; therefore, we will have amount of homework, $\frac{1}{6}$ , divided by hours, $\frac{1}{3}$ :

$\frac{\ \frac{1}{6}\ \textup{homework}}{\ \frac{1}{3}\ \textup{hours}}$

Remember that when we divide fractions, we can simply multiply by the reciprocal of the denominator to solve.

$\frac{1}{3}\rightarrow \frac{3}{1}$

Therefore:

$\frac{1}{6}\times\frac{3}{1}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$

Greg can complete $\frac{1}{2}$ of his homework per hour.
