Gary's pet gorilla eats all the time. He eats 5/6 pound of food in 1/4 of an hour. How much food does he eat in an hour

5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 x 5/4 = 5/16

(just multiply it, straight across.)

5/6 • 4

The reason why I did this is because it gives us how much Gary eats in 1/4 of an hour so you need to find the amount he eats in 1 full hour.

Then you get ...

20/6

Which simplifies to:

3 2/6 = 3 1/3

Final Answer:

3 1/3 lbs
