Rusty's hair grows at the rate of 1/4 inch per month. How many months will it take Rusty's hair to grow 5/8 inch? Explain your answer using words, and show your work using division of fractions

Answer :

=> 10 months

Given :

1 / 4 inches = 1 month

Find :

5 / 8 inches = ? months

According to the question :

1 month = 1 / 4 inches

5 / 8 inches = ' x ' months

=> ( 5 / 8 ) / ( 1 / 4 ) = x

=> ( 5 / 8 ) × ( 4 / 1 ) = x

=> ( 5 × 2 ) / 1 = x

=> 10 / 1 = x

=> x = 10.

So, it takes 10 months.
