Question

The Boy scouts spent 10/12 hour doing their daily exercises. They only used 1/4 hour in hiking in. How much time did they use for other body exercise?

Answer 1

35

Explanation:

10/12 of an hour/60 minutes = 50 minutes so they spent that amount of time doing daily exercises

1/4 of an hour/60 minutes = 15 minutes so they spend that time hiking

subtract the 15 mins of hiking from the total 50 of exercises = 35 for other body exercises

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

35 minutes

Explanation:

First, we can convert everything to minutes.

10/12 of an hour

60 minutes = 1 hour

1/12 of an hour = 60/12 minutes = 5 minutes

10/12 of an hour = 1/12 of an hour * 10 = 50 minutes

1/4 hour = 1/4 of 60 minutes = 15 minutes

time doing daily exercises - time doing hiking = time doing other body exercises = 50 minutes - 15 minutes = 35 minutes
