If it takes 1/3 of an hour every night we need to find how many thirds are in 5.

We divide 5 by 1/3 which is the same as 5 times 3 which equals 15.

It will take 15 nights to study for 5 hours.

Answer: 15 nights


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Duration of study by Nisha for the spelling 'bee'.=5 hours

Rate of her study=1/3 hour per night

Let she studies y hours for the spelling 'bee' then

Rate of her study[tex]=\frac{5}{y}[/tex] [divide hours of study by 'y' ]

[tex]\\\Rightarrow\frac{5}{y}=\frac{1}{3}\\\Rightarrow\ y=5\times3\\\Rightarrow\ y=15\ hours[/tex]

Hence she has to study 15 nights.
