Question

A movie lasts 2 1/3 hours james watches 3/4 of the movie then pauses it while he eat dinner how long did he spend watching the movie. And how did you solve it.

Answer 1

Rewrite the length of the movie as an improper fraction.

2 1/3 = 7/3

Now multiply the length of the movie by 3/4

7/3 x 3/4 = (7 x3) / (3 x 4) = 21/12 = 1 3/4 hours
