Question

Fritz attended band practice for 5/6 hour. Then he went home and practiced for 2/5 as long as band practice. How many minutes did he practice at home?

Answer 1

`(2)/(5) * (5)/(6) = (10)/(30) or (1)/(3)` That means they practiced for 20 minutes at home

Answer 2

`20\ minutes`

Explanation:

we know that

To find out how many minutes Fritz practiced at home, multiply the band practice time by
`2/5` and then convert to minutes

so

`(5)/(6)*(2)/(5)=(2)/(6)=(1)/(3)\ hours`

Convert hours to minutes

Remember that

`1\ hour=60\ minutes`

`(1)/(3)\ hours=(1)/(3)*60=20\ minutes`
