Question

Leo spent the same amount of time working on each of 5 different weight machines and then spent Two-thirds of an hour on the treadmill. If he spent a total of 1 and three-fourths hours at the gym, which shows the correct equation and solution for x, the number of hours Leo spent at each of the weight machines?

Answer 1

13 minutes

Step by step Explanation:

The time spent at treadmill = ( 2/3 ) of an hour = 40 minutes

The total time spent at gym = 1 3/4 of an hour = 105 minutes

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

5A + 40 = 105

On simplifying the equation , we get

Subtracting 40 on both sides of the equation , we get

5A = 65

Divide by 5 on both sides of the equation , we get

13 minutes
