Answer 1

Hi Jake,

Your Question: A robot can complete 4 tasks in five sixths hour. Each task takes the same amount of time.

a. How long does it take the robot to complete one​ task?

4 tasks take 5/6 of an hour.

What is 5/6 of an hour? In minutes it would be 5/6 * 60minutes = 50 minutes.

This is the time for four tasks. To determine the time for one task, divide by 4

50minutes / 4 tasks = 12.5 minutes per task.

If you wanted the time in hours, it would be 5/6 hour divided by 4 tasks

5/24 hours

Hope this helps!
