can you type?

A. 18
B. 6
(C.) 2
D. 9

would you divide or multiply?

Answer 1

6* 1/3 is 2 so C

Answer 2

hey @VictoriaTheBear the answer is 18

Answer 3

oh okay @BIOCRYSTAL

Answer 4

@VictoriaTheBear can you work it out..the correct answer is 18

Answer 5

@VictoriaTheBear the 6/3 that you have up there you divide it which will get you 2 not 18. you can even multiply 1/3 times 6 and get the same answer. simple algebra

Answer 6

1/3 of an hour is 1/3*60=20 minutes (1 hour=60 min)
so it takes 20 mins to type a memo..

Answer 7

so if you work for an hour you can type 3 memos(20min+20min+20min)
so for 6 hrs you can type 6*3=18 memos

Answer 8

@Asevilla5 ..please check the question once

Answer 9

ok ill see one sec

Answer 10

my bad though but @BIOCRYSTAL is right. been 3 years ago I did this stuff.
An hour is 60 minutes, so 1/3 of an hour would be 20 minutes. You can do 1 memo every 20 minutes. Six hours is 6 x 60 = 360 minutes. Divide that by 20 minutes to get how many memos you could type = 18.

Answer 11

it is 18 :D so you multiply but my book is confusing it said divide it .

Answer 12

first we divide an hour (60 min)with 3...to get 1/3 of an hour..may be they are referring to it

Answer 13

thankyou both btw @Asevilla5 and @BIOCRYSTAL
