The complete question is

Zach has 3/4 hour to play video games. it takes him 1/12 hour to set up the system. Each round of his favorite game takes 1/6 hour. How many rounds can he play

we know that

1) Zach has
3/4 hour to play video games

Convert to minutes


1\ hour=60\ minutes


(3/4)*60=45\ minutes

2) It takes him
1/12 hour to set up the system

Convert to minutes


(1/12)*60=5\ minutes

3) Find time available to play video games


45\ minutes-5\ minutes=40\ minutes

4) Each round of his favorite game takes
1/6 hour

Convert to minutes


(1/6)*60=10\ minutes

5) Divide the time available to play video games by the time each round of his favorite game


40/10=4\ round

therefore

the answer is


4\ round
