Question

karen spent a total of 5 1/5 hours after school reading and playing If she spent 3 1/4 hours readings how many hours did Karen spend playing

Answer 1

Given data:

The total numbers of hour karen spends are a=5 1/5 hours.

The numbers of hour karen spend on reading are b=3 1/4 hours.

The expression for the number of hour karen spend on playing is,

`p=a-b`

Substitute the given values in the above expression.

`\begin{gathered} p=5(1)/(5)-3(1)/(4) \\ =(26)/(5)-(13)/(4) \\ =(104-65)/(20) \\ =(39)/(20) \\ =1(19)/(20)\text{ hours} \end{gathered}`

Thus, the numbers of hour karen spend on playing are 1 19/20 hours.
