Problema Solution
Deborah spends 1/5 of her time writing grant proposals. If she spends 48 hours per month, writing grant proposals, how much does she spend on consulting work
Answer provided by our tutors
we will assume that Deborah's work consists of writing grant proposals and consulting work only
1/5 of 48 hours (her time) she writes proposals or (1/5)48 hours
the rest of the time she is doing consulting work:
48 - (1/5)48 = 48(1 - 1/5) = 48*(4/5) = 38.4 hr
she spends 38.4 hours doing consulting work.
