At summer camp,the duration of a field hockey games is 3/4 hour. the camp counselor have set aside 6 hours for field hockey games.How many games can be played

Answer 1

Assuming that there is no time "left" between games, you would divide 6 by 3/4 to solve this problem..

Recall that dividing by a fraction is completed by multiplying by the reciprocal of that fraction (divisor).

Here, the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3.

6 ÷ 3 = 6 • 4 = 24 = 8

4 3 3

Therefore, 8 games could be played in 6 hours.
