one week if a student exercise 3 hours at school at another 2/3 of an hour at home if 1/5 of the students total exercise came from playing basketball how much time did the students spend playing basketball that week and take your answer an hour's do not include units in your answers

Sagot :

One week exercise 3 hours at school and another 2/3 of an hour at home

1/5 of the students total exercise came from basketball

Excersise total = 3 hours + 2/3 hour = 3 (60) minutes + (2/3)(60) minutes = 180 + 40 = 220 minutes

Of this total, 1/5 came from basketball:

(1/5)(220) minutes = 44 minutes

Answer:

The students spend 44 minutes per week playing basketball

Also, using fractions, you can write:

[tex](3\frac{2}{3})\frac{1}{5}=\frac{11}{3}\frac{1}{5}=\frac{11}{15}[/tex]

In this case, you would say:

The students spend 11/15 of an hour per week playing basketball
