Another way to state the question: How many days does it take to build 1 deck?

OK so is the answer 3 3/8?

hero · Answer

How'd you come up with that?

i_ask_alot · Answer

I multiplied 4 1/2 and 3/4

Oh and BTW I got your message thx for the advice

hero · Answer

You can't just multiply the two together. That's not how it works. You have to reason your way through the problem solving process. Where do you start? First make sure yoo understand what a unit rate is.

OK so can you walk me though it instead of just telling me the answer.

Actually, just to save time I'm going to link you to a good explanation. But later, I will post how I personally approach these. I have to go to work soon. If I had more time, I'd explain my own approach. http://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/Conjunction/Conjunction.faq.question.942538.html
