Question

Lamar has 5/6 of an hour of free time. It takes him 1/3 of an hour to play his favorite video game. How many whole games does he have time to play?

Answer 1

Let's divide the free time Lamar has by the time it takes him to play a whole game:

$\frac{5}{6}\div\frac{1}{3}=\frac{15}{6}\rightarrow\frac{5}{2}\rightarrow2.5$

This way, we get that Lamar could play two and a half games. But since we're being asked by whole games, we can conclude that Lamar can play 2.
