Mahmoud spent 1/6 of the working in the flower bed mahmoud spent 2/3 of that time adding mulch of the flower bed what fraction of the day did mahmoud spend adding mulch?

1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1/6 of the day was spent in the flower bed and 2/3 of that was spreading mulch, we need to find 2/3 of 1/6 to find out how much of the day was spreading the mulch.

In math "of" means times

"is" means equals

2/3 of 1/6 is

translates to

2/3 x 1/6 =

Now we just multiply the numerators across and denominators across then reduce if possible...

2/3 x 1/6 = 2/18

2 and 18 both divide by 2 so it reduces

2/18 = 1/9
