Answer:
The conductor checked on the passengers 12 times.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how many times the conductor checks on the passengers, you must do
8 divided by 2/3
because you have to find how many 2/3 (times checked by conductor) are in 8 hours.
8/1 ÷ 2/3
Switch the two numbers of 2/3 or find the reciprocal which is
3/2
and change ÷ to ×
Now solve.
8/1 x 3/2 = 24/2 (8x3=24 and 1x2=2)
which Simplified is
12/1 or 12
Check your answer:
12/1 x 2/3 = 24/3 = 8
The conductor checked on the passengers 12 times.
