Gary's pet gorilla eats all the time. Heat 5/6 pound of food in 1/4 of an hour. How much food does he eat in an hour?
5/6 x1/4 =
6/5 x 4/1=24/5=51/4
check this and tell me what I did wrong

Isn't 15 minutes just 1/4 of an hour ?
So if he heats 5/6 in 15 minutes, wouldn't he just eat 4 times as much in 1 hr?
What is 4 times 5/6 ???
sn't 15 minutes just 1/4 of an hour ?

It would be 31/2
To determine how much food Gary's pet gorilla eats in one hour, we need to find the result of multiplying 5/6 and 1/4. Here are the steps to calculate it correctly:
1. Multiply the numerators (the numbers on top) together: 5 x 1 = 5.
2. Multiply the denominators (the numbers on the bottom) together: 6 x 4 = 24.
3. Write the product of the numerators and denominators as a fraction: 5/24.
Therefore, Gary's pet gorilla eats 5/24 pounds of food in one hour.
In your calculations, you made a small mistake when you multiplied 6/5 and 4/1. It seems like you incorrectly multiplied the numerators and denominators. Make sure to multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
