. Michael plays 1/5 of a song in 1/15 of a minute. How much time will it take him to play an entire song?

Respuesta :

1/5 is one out of the 5 parts of the song.  Now you need to multiply 1/15 by 5/1.  This will give you 5/15 or 1/3 of a minute.  It will take him 20 seconds to play the entire song.
