Chapter 7: Problem 88

Will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. If you can complete a job in 5 hours, what fractional part of the job can you complete in 1 hour? in 3 hours? in \(x\) hours?

Short Answer

Expert verified
In 1 hour, \(1/5\) of the job can be done. In 3 hours, \(3/5\) of the job can be done. In \(x\) hours, \(x/5\) of the job can be done.

Step by step solution

01

Calculate Fraction for 1 Hour

Since a full job takes 5 hours to complete, in one hour only a 1/5 fraction of the job will be completed. As such, the unit is divided by the total hours needed to achieve the task, hence \(1/5\).
02

Calculate Fraction for 3 Hours

Again, the same logic applies for 3 hours. The task completion is proportionate to the time spent on it, compared to the total 5 hours needed. Hence, 3 hours would mean \(3/5\) of the task was completed.
03

Calculate Fraction for x Hours

The same principle applies when determining the fraction of the job completed in x hours. Therefore, if x hours are spent on the job, \(x/5\) of it is completed. Please note that, the value for x should be within the bounds of the total time taken, i.e., 0 <= x <= 5. Beyond these bounds, the calculation will not make sense as it would mean that x exceeds the total time needed to complete the job or is less than no time spent on the job.

Determine whether each statement "makes sense" or "does not make sense" and explain your reasoning. I can solve \(\frac{x}{9}=\frac{4}{6}\) by using the cross-products principle or by multiplying both sides by \(18,\) the least common denominator.
