Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Dentist's Office = 5/6 of an hour. An hours is 60 minutes

therefore he spent 5/6 x 60 = 50 minutes at the Dentist

1/10 of those 50 minutes were spent in the waiting room that is 1/10 x 50 = 5 minutes

Therefore Sam Spent 45 minutes at the Dentist office

I think the second part of your question is missing
