As a busboy in a restaurant, Amiel takes 1/12 h to clear and reset a table. How many tables can Amiel clear in 2/3 h?
Answered by Ms. Sue
1/12 hour = 5 minutes
2/3 hour = 40 minutes

What do you think the answer is?
Answered by Karen
How did you get 5 mintues and 40 mintues?
Answered by Ms. Sue
1/12 * 60 minutes = 5 minutes
(Look at a clock.)

2/3 * 60 minutes = 40 minutes.
