Answer:

1/40 of an hour

Explanation:

She texted her friend for 3/5 of an hour

She brushed and put pyjamas for 3/8 of an hour

To find the total time spend so we need to add 3/5 an d 3/8.

For adding these fractions we need to equate their denominator's LCM

LCM of 5 and 8 are 40

So (3/5*8/8) + (3/8*5/5)

(24/40) + (15/40)

24+15/40

39/40 of an hour.

So we can say the time spent reding by her: (40/40) - (39/40)

i.e., 1/40

27 minutes were spent reading, first you do 60 divided by 5 which is 12 and then times that by 3 which is 36 and then you do 36 divided by 8 which is 3 and then you do 3 times 3 which is 9 meaning she spent 9 minutes brushing her teeth and getting her pjs on so you subtract, 36-9 which is 27
