Question

If Jerry completed `8/10` of his class project in `8` minutes, how long will it take him to complete the entire project?

Answer 1

10 minutes.

Explanation:

Suppose Jerry can complete the class project in `x` minutes, and he would have taken `8/10 x` minutes to finish `8/10` of the entire project.

`8/10 x = 8`

`x = 8*10/8`

`x=10`

Therefore, he takes 10 minutes to finish the entire project.
