Question

Colin’s piano lesson is 45 minutes, or 3/4 of an hour, long. If he practices 6 different songs and spends an equal amount of time on each song, what fraction of an hour does he spend practicing each song?

Answer 1

45/6=7.5 so 7.5 minutes. 7.5/60=1.25 in this scenario this would translate to 12.5% 100/12.5=8 so one song in one eighth of an hour 

Answer 2

Answer:
`(1)/(8)` hour

Explanation:

Given: The total time Collin spent on 6 songs =
`(3)/(4)\text{ hour}`

Now, the fraction of an hour does he spend practicing each song is given by :-

`\frac{\text{Total time taken}}{\text{Total songs}}=((3)/(4))/(6)=(3)/(4*6)=(1)/(8)\text{hour}`

The fraction of an hour does he spend practicing each song=
`(1)/(8)`
