If Nefertiti could pronounce her name in six tenths of a second. At that rate, how many times could she pronounce her name in 15 seconds? (write and solve a fraction division problem to answer the question)
15/(6/10)
(15/1) * (10/6) = 150/6 = 25
Lol k thanks
To solve this problem, we need to divide the total time (15 seconds) by the time it takes Nefertiti to pronounce her name (6 tenths of a second).
Total time / Time per pronunciation = Number of pronunciations
15 seconds / 6/10 seconds = Number of pronunciations
To divide fractions, we need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
15 seconds * 10/6 seconds = Number of pronunciations
Reducing the fraction gives us:
15 * 10/6 = Number of pronunciations
150/6 = Number of pronunciations
Simplifying the fraction gives us:
25 = Number of pronunciations
Therefore, Nefertiti could pronounce her name 25 times in 15 seconds.
To find the number of times Nefertiti could pronounce her name in 15 seconds, we can set up a fraction division problem.
First, we need to find how many times she can pronounce her name in one second. We know that Nefertiti can pronounce her name in six tenths of a second, which can be written as 6/10.
To convert this fraction to a ratio per second, we can divide the numerator by the denominator: 6 ÷ 10 = 0.6.
Now, we can use this rate to calculate how many times Nefertiti can pronounce her name in 15 seconds. We multiply the rate (0.6) by the number of seconds (15):
0.6 * 15 = 9.
So, Nefertiti would be able to pronounce her name 9 times in 15 seconds.
