It takes Marty 1 1/4 hours to get ready for school.if 1/5 of that time is used to shower, what fraction of an hour does it take for home to shower
1 1/4 = 5/4
so what is 1/5 of 5?
To find the fraction of an hour it takes Marty to shower, we first need to determine the total time it takes him to get ready for school.
Marty takes 1 1/4 hours to get ready for school.
To find the fraction of that time used for showering, we need to divide the total time by the given fraction.
The given fraction is 1/5.
To divide a fraction, we can invert the dividing fraction and multiply it by the total time.
1 1/4 ÷ 1/5 can be expressed as (5/1) × (4/5) = 20/5 = 4.
So, it takes Marty 4/5 of an hour to shower before school.
