Question

Cody wants to watch a new movie that is three hours long.

He has watched 1/6 of the movie so far. What fraction of one hour did cody spend watching the new movie

Answer 1

1/2 of an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

the movie is three hours long, I would divide it into 3 parts, each being an hour long. because it says he watched 1/6 of the movie so far you would want to split those 3 parts in half to make 6 parts, each being 30 minutes. so if we took one of those hours, and the time he watched 1/6 of the movie which would be 30 minutes, an hour is 60 minutes, so 30 mintues is half an hour

Answer 2

1/2 of an hour

Explanation:

Well firstly we must find the amount of minutes spent watching. Which is 3 * 60 = 180mins.Then we find 1/6 of 180 = 30We now know Cody has watch 30 minute of the movie.To find what fraction this is of an hour we divide it by minutes in an hour:30/60 which is 1/2Therefore the answer is 1/2 of an hour
