A builder was building a fence. In the moring he worked 2/5 of an hour. In the afternoon he wirked for 9/10 of an hour. how many times as long in the morning did he work in the afternoon

Note that:

1 hour = 60 minutes

In the moring he worked 2/5 of an hour.

= 2/5 × 60 minutes

= 24 minutes

In the afternoon he worked for 9/10 of an hour

Hence:

9/10 × 60 minutes

= 54 minutes

How many times as long in the morning did he work in the afternoon?

This is calculated as number of minutes worked in the afternoon ÷ Number of minutes worked in the morning

= 54 minutes/24 minutes

= 2 6/24
