Ethan

Ethan is a farmer. He spends 50 hours each week working on the farm. In the summer, Ethan spends 4/11 of his time cleaning and 2/9 of his time feeding the animals. How many hours does he spend feeding the animals every week?

Fill sentence:
Ethan spends ________ hours a week feeding the animals.

Correct answer:

f =  100/9 = 11 ¹⁄₉ h

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} t=50\text{h} \\ f=\frac{2}{9}\cdot t=\frac{2}{9}\cdot 50=\frac{2\cdot 50}{9}=\frac{100}{9}=\frac{100}{9}\text{h}=11.1111\text{h} \end{gathered}$$
