Harold spends 1/6 of the year on his aunts farm. He has done this for the last 8 years. What is the total amount of years, in simplest form , that Harold has spent on his aunts farm? Please explain to me step by step how this problem is solved! Thank you

Sagot :

First, multiply 1/6 times 8.  This gets you 8/6, which reduces to 4/3.  This means that she has spent 4/3 of a year on the farm.  Now if you'd like, you can simplify this to 1 1/3 years, depending on what your teacher wants.
