5/6 an hour on homework because 2/6 plus 3/6 equals 5/6

The fraction of an hour Payton spend on his homework is 5/6. Adding 3/6 from his reading homework and 2/6 from his math homework. If you also want to find how much minute he spend doing his homework it is 50 minutes. Every hour has 60 minutes. 20+30=50 which means that Payton also spend 50 minutes on his homework.
