the key wording in "how many times as long "
"many times" suggests multiplication, which is turn suggests division.
so 3 2/3 รท 1 1/2
your first step would be to change those mixed fractions to useful fractions
it takes harrison 1 1//2 hours to finish his history project. it takes miles 3 2/3 hours to finish his science project. how many times as long does it takes miles to finish his science project than it takes harrison to finish his history project?
Do I have to subtract or divide?
