Answer:

English homework = 19/30h or 38 minutes

Total time spent = 22/15h or 88 minutes

Explanation:

Mathematics homework = 5/6h

= 5/6 × 60

= 300/6

= 50 minutes

He took 1/5 h less to complete his english homework.

English = 5/6h - 1/5h

= 25h-6h/30

= 19/30h

= 19/30 × 60

= 1,140/30

= 38 minutes

English homework = 19/30h or 38 minutes

Total time spent on his homework = mathematics homework + English homework

= 5/6h + 19/30h

= 25h+19h/30

= 44/30h

= 22/15h

= 22/15 × 60

= 1,320 / 15

= 88 minutes
