Answer:

2/3 of an hour

Explanation:

Since Ivan has 4 total hours of music on his mp3, you can multiply the number of hours by the fraction of time:


4*(1)/(6)=(4)/(1)*(1)/(6)=(4)/(6)=(2)/(3)

Given that Jazz makes up 1/6 of the total, than only 2/3 of an hour on Ivan's mp3 player would be Jazz.
