Question

Each morning, Jared needs 60 minutes to get ready for school. Kiara needs 7/12 as much time as Jared. How many minutes does Kiara need each morning to get ready for school?

Answer 1

Kiara needs 35 minutes to get ready for school

Answer 2

Given:
Jared needs 60min
Kiara needs
`(7)/(12)` of (60)

Multiply
`(7)/(12)` by 60

`(7)/(12)` *
`(60)/(1)`
This can be simplified to
`(7)/(1)` *
`(5)/(1)`
7*5 = 35

The answer is Kiara needs 35 minutes to get ready for school.
