lucy spends four hours a week babysitting. Her sister Lilly spent 7/8 as much time babysitting. Does Lilly babysit for more or less than four hours?
Is it more or less that 4 hours
What is the answer
7/8 is a fraction less than one.
If you multiply by a fraction less than one the result is smaller than the original.
For example a half dollar is less than a dollar.
So if I were to figure out the time she was babysitting would I multiply 7/8 and 4?
yes
and 7/8 * 4 = 7/2 = 3.5
Tysm!
You are welcome.
