Question

Emma drank 1/4 of a milk shake in 1/12 of a minute. How many minutes will it take her to drink a full milk shake?

Answer 1

It wold take Emma `1/3` of a minute or 20 seconds to drink the entire milk shake.

Explanation:

Assuming Emma doesn't take any breaks and drinks the entire milk shake at the same rate as she drank the first `1/4`, the ratio for solving this problem is:

`(1/12)/(1/4) = t/1`

or

`t = 4/12`

or

`t = 1/3`
