It took Bethany 2/3 of an hour to complete her science homework. It took Bethany 3/4 of the amount of time to do her math homework as her science homework. How many more minutes did it take Bethany to complete her science than her math

10 more minutes

This is because 2/3 of an hour is 40 minutes and 3/4 of 40 is 30. 40-30=10. Therefore it took Bethany 10 more minutes to do her science homework than it did her math.

2/3 of an hour= 40 minutes
3/4 of 40= 30 minutes
40- 30= 10
So, it took Bethany 10 more minutes to complete her science homework than her math homework.
