Need help, please Cyndi works in an office. She thinks that she spends 30 minutes in meeting for every 3 hours that she spends working at her desk. One week, she spends 3 hours and 15 minutes in meetings. Using Cyndi's timings above, work out how many hours she would have spent working at her desk?

When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates. if you have a multiple-unit rate such as 120 students for every 3 buses, and want to find the single-unit rate, write a ratio equal to the multiple-unit rate with 1 as the second term.
