Noel has been working on making handmade birthday cards for 11/12 hour. If each card takes 1/6 hour to make, how many cards did he make?

A 1/5 card
B 5/6 card
C 5 cards
D 5 1/2 cards

1 answer

To find the number of cards made, we need to divide the total time worked by the time taken to make each card.

The total time worked is 11/12 hour.

Since each card takes 1/6 hour to make, we have:

Number of cards = (Total time worked) / (Time taken to make each card)

Number of cards = (11/12) / (1/6)

Number of cards = (11/12) * (6/1)

Number of cards = 66/12

Simplifying the fraction, we have:

Number of cards = 11/2

This can be written as 5 1/2 cards.

So, the answer is D) 5 1/2 cards.
