Question

Nisha read the part of a book in 1 hour. How much part of the book will be read by her in 3 2/5 hours?

Answer 1

Part of book read in one hour = 1/3

Part of book red in 3 2/5 hours ( mixed fraction)= 1/3x17/5 ( mixed fraction simplified)

=17/15 Part of the book

Answer 2

Given:

$\text { Part of book read in } 1 \text { hour }=\frac{1}{3}$

$\text { Part of book read in } 3 \frac{2}{5} \text { hours }=\frac{1}{3} \times 3 \frac{2}{5}$

$=\frac{1}{3}\times(3+\frac{2}{5} )$

$=\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{15+2}{5}$

$=\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{17}{5} \\\\=\frac{17}{15}$

Hence 17/15 part read by her in 3 2/5 hours
