To find the number of cards Noel made, we need to divide the total time spent by the time it takes to make each card.
11/12 hour รท 1/6 hour/card = 11/12 hour ร 6/1 card/hour
= 66/12 cards
= 5 1/2 cards
So, Noel made 5 1/2 cards.
Responses
5 1/2 cards
1/5 card
5 cards
5/6 card
11/12 hour รท 1/6 hour/card = 11/12 hour ร 6/1 card/hour
= 66/12 cards
= 5 1/2 cards
So, Noel made 5 1/2 cards.
Total time = 11/12 hour
Time taken to make each card = 1/6 hour
Dividing 11/12 by 1/6, we get:
(11/12) รท (1/6) = (11/12) x (6/1) = 66/12
Simplifying 66/12, we get:
66/12 = 5 1/2
Therefore, Noel made 5 1/2 cards.
First, let's convert the time Noel spent working to a fraction of an hour. We know that he worked for 11/12 of an hour.
Next, we need to find the number of cards he can make in 1/6 hour. To do this, we need to divide 1 by 1/6.
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of 1/6 is 6/1. So, to find the number of cards made in 1/6 hour, we multiply 1 by 6/1, which gives us 6.
Now, to find the total number of cards Noel made, we divide the total time by the time it takes to make one card. So, we divide 11/12 by 1/6.
To divide fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal. So, we multiply 11/12 by 6/1, which gives us 66/12.
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 6. Dividing 66 by 6 gives us 11, and dividing 12 by 6 gives us 2.
So, the fraction 66/12 simplifies to 11/2.
Therefore, Noel made 11/2 cards, which is equal to 5 and 1/2 cards.
