Question

Quintella went to see two one-act plays. With an intermission of 1/6 hour, the evening lasted 2 1/2 hours. The first play was 1 1/4 hours long. How long did the second play last?

Answer 1

13/12 hr long , the second play last.

Explanation:

Total Evening time = 5/2 hrs

Intermission time = 1/6 hr

One Play time = 5/4 hr

Second Play time = Total Evening time - One play time - Intermission Time

=> Second Play time = 5/2 - 5/4 - 1/6

=> Second Play time = (1/12) ( 30 - 15 - 2) = 13/12 hr

the second play last for 13/12 Hrs = 1 hr 5 minutes
