Question

Jamie's track practice is 90 minutes long. 20% of the time is spent jumping hurdles. How many minutes does Jamie spend jumping hurdles?

Answer 1

Jamie spends 18 minutes jumping hurdles, which is calculated by taking 20% of the total 90-minute track practice time.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the amount of time Jamie spends jumping hurdles, we need to calculate 20% of the total track practice time. Jamie's track practice lasts 90 minutes, so we calculate 20% of 90 minutes as follows:

Time spent jumping hurdles = 20% of Total practice time

Time spent jumping hurdles = 0.20 × 90 minutes

Time spent jumping hurdles = 18 minutes

Therefore, Jamie spends 18 minutes jumping hurdles during the track practice.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

90 x 0.2 (Because you have to transform the percent into a decimal, move the decimal place twice to the right)

Answer: 18 Minutes
