The assembly of a machine takes 3/4 hour. There are twelve steps in the assembly process. What is the average time for each step?
3/4 /12=
4/3 x12/1 =16
is this right
Does your answer make sense to you?
Each step takes 16? 16 what?

is this right How do you working
Please answer my questions!
To find the average time for each step, we need to divide the total time taken for assembly (3/4 hour) by the number of steps (12).
Step 1: Convert 3/4 hour to fraction form:
3/4 hour = 3/4
Step 2: Divide the total time by the number of steps:
(3/4) / 12 = 3/4 x 1/12
Step 3: Simplify the fraction:
3/4 x 1/12 = 3/48
Step 4: Convert the fraction to decimal form:
3/48 = 0.0625
So, the average time for each step is 0.0625 hours, which is equivalent to approximately 0.0625 x 60 = 3.75 minutes.
Therefore, your calculation of 16 is not correct. The correct average time for each step is approximately 3.75 minutes.
