Question

Lydia was doing her homework. She did math for 3/5 of an hour. She did science for 2/3 of an hour, half an hour for art sketches, and 1/10 of an hour for French. and How much time did she spend on her homework? How much time would she have spent if she took 10 minutes break between each subject? Show your work.

Answer 1

82 minutes

102 minutes with breaks

Explanation:

So there are 60 minutes in an hour. 3/5 of 60 is 36. 2/3 of 60 is 40. And 1/10 of 60 is 6. So adding all those numbers up 36+40+6=82 minutes.

Now if she spent 10 minute breaks in between her assignments then she did 36+10+40+10+6=102 minutes with breaks in between Math and Art also Art and French
