3/8 of the 40 little engines could climb the hill. How many engines were in each part? How many parts could climb the hill? How many engines could climb the hill? How many parts could not climb the hill? How many engines could not climb the hill?

60 seconds = 1 minute 60 minutes = 1 hour 24 hours = 1 day 60 sec. x 60 minutes = 3600 seconds in one hour 3600 seconds x 24 = 86,400 seconds in one day

I am having troubles with the first part that I forgot to type... How many parts was the group divided? Would that be 15 parts or 8 parts?

If it is 15 parts, I figured 40 engines divided by 15 parts which equals 2 3/8. 2 3/8 engines in each part. 2 3/8 * 3 (parts that could climb the hill) = 7 1/8 parts that could climb the hill Am I heading in the right direction?

thank you, that makes it a lot easier.
