Question

Mia played in two softball games one afternoon. the first game lasted 42 minutes the second game lasted 5/3 times longer than the first game. how long did Mia's second game last?

Answer 1

1st game was 42 minutes....2nd game was 5/3 times longer....so we multiply

5/3 * 42 = (5 * 42)/3 = 210/3 = 70 minutes....so the 2nd game was 70 minutes or 1 hr and 10 minutes

Answer 2

42 x 5/3= 70
70min= 1hr 10min
