A pump fills 3/8 of a tank in one hour. What part of the tank does it fill in 22/3 hours?

Question

Accepted Answer

The whole tank. 22/3 = 8/3 hours, so the part filled is 3/8 × 8/3 = 24/24 = 1 — the two numbers are reciprocals, so the tank fills exactly once. Traps: 3/4 counts only the 2 whole hours, 9/64 divides instead of multiplying, and 6/11 adds the numerators and denominators.

A pump fills $\frac{3}{8}$ of a tank in one hour. What part of the tank does it fill in $2 \frac{2}{3}$ hours?
