Question

complete the ratio table to convert the units of time from hours to weeks or weeks to hours.
hours weeks
168 1
1,008
5

Explanation:

Step1: Find the conversion factor

We know that 168 hours = 1 week, so the conversion factor from hours to weeks is $\frac{1}{168}$ (weeks per hour), and from weeks to hours is 168 (hours per week).

Step2: Convert 1,008 hours to weeks

To find the number of weeks in 1,008 hours, we divide the number of hours by 168 (since 168 hours = 1 week). So, we calculate $\frac{1008}{168}$.
$1008 \div 168 = 6$. So, 1,008 hours is 6 weeks.

Step3: Convert 5 weeks to hours

To find the number of hours in 5 weeks, we multiply the number of weeks by 168 (since 1 week = 168 hours). So, we calculate $5 \times 168$.
$5 \times 168 = 840$. So, 5 weeks is 840 hours.

Answer:

For 1,008 hours, the number of weeks is 6. For 5 weeks, the number of hours is 840. (If filling the table: the first blank (weeks for 1,008 hours) is 6, the second blank (hours for 5 weeks) is 840)
