A builder was building a fence. In the morning, he worked for 25 of an hour. In the afternoon, he worked for 910 of an hour. How many times as long as in the morning did he work in the afternoon? Write a division equation to represent this situation, then answer the question.

9514 1404 393

  (9/10)/(2/5) = ratio of work times

  2 1/4 times as long

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  2/5 hours work in the morning

  9/10 hours work in the afternoon

Find:

  an equation for how many times as long was afternoon work compared to morning work

  the equation solution

Solution:

  a/m = r . . . . ratio of afternoon work to morning work

  (9/10)/(2/5) = r . . . equation

  (9/10)/(4/10) = r

  9/4 = r = 2 1/4 . . . solution

The builder worked 2 1/4 times as long in the afternoon as in the morning.
