Warren used 1/2 of a tube of toothpaste in 1/3 of a year. At that rate, how much toothpaste would he use in 1 year?
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, mixed number, or whole number.

Answer

To find out how much toothpaste Warren would use in 1 year, we need to determine how many times 1/3 of a year fits into a full year. Since 1 year is 3 times 1/3 of a year, we multiply the amount of toothpaste used in 1/3 of a year by 3:

Calculation:

  1. Amount used in 1/3 year = 1/2 tube
  2. Amount used in 1 year = 3 * (1/2) = 3/2 tubes

Therefore, Warren would use 1 1/2 tubes of toothpaste in 1 year.
