Question

Javon spent one fourth of his 3/4 hour gym class jumping rope. how long did he spend jumping rope?

Answer 1

15 minutes because 1/4 is 15 minutes

Answer 2

one fourth of 3/4 hour :

`(1)/(4) \text { of } (3)/(4)`


`= (1)/(4) * (3)/(4)`


`= (3)/(16) \text { of an hour}`

Convert into minutes:


`= (3)/(16) \text { of an hour} = (3)/(16) * 60 \text { minutes}`


`= (3)/(16) \text { of an hour} = 11.25 \text { minutes}`
