Question

!Help !

Joelene goes to bed three hours after dinner. Yesterday, after dinner, she spent 1 ½ hour on her homework and ⅔ of an hour on the telephone. Home much time did she have left before bedtime?

Answer 1

50 minutes

Explanation:

she spent 1 hr and 30 minutes on homework

she spends 2/3 of an hour on the phone = 40 minutes

1 hr 30 min + 40 minutes = 2 hrs and 10 min

so she had 50 minutes to kill before bedtime since she goes to sleep 3 hrs after dinner

2hr 10 min + 50 min = 3 hrs.
