Alright, lets get started.


Zach has 3/4 hour to play video games.


Lets converts it into minutes.



(3)/(4) means
(3)/(4) *60 = 45 minutes.


It takes him 1/12 hour to set up the system means he has
(1)/(12) *60 = 5 minutes to set up the system.


So, he has left time for playing =
45-5 = 40 minutes


Each round of his favorite game takes 1/6 hour means
(1)/(6)*60 = 10 minutes for each round.


It means he has 40 minutes for playing and each round takes 10 minutes.


So, number of rounds he can play=
(40)/(10) = 4


He can play 4 rounds of his favorite game. : Answer


Hope it will help :)
