Explanation:

The question asking:

What fraction of the minutes did Emilia spend talking to either her mom or her best friend?

`(1)/(12) < (5)/(12)`

The total equals to
`(6)/(12) or(1)/(2)`

So, She spend more talking to her friend then her mother

Thus the answer to your problem is, She spend more talking to her friend then her mother
