Question

Jordan spent 5 hours over the weekend studying for 3 tests. He spent an equal amount of time studying for each test

Answer 1

Option (4)

Explanation:

Jordan spent 5 hours studying for 3 test with equal amount of time studying for each test.

On the number line, there are 3 small segments between each number.

Every small segment will represent time =
`(1)/(3)` hours

Total number of small segments = 15

If Jordan takes 3 equal durations for the study of each test,

Total number of small segments for each test =
`(15)/(3)=5`

Now we can plot these points on the number line.

Further count the segments for the answer ( 1 hour plus 2 small segments)

= 1 +
`2* (1)/(3)`

=
`1(2)/(3)`

Therefore, time given for studying each test =
`1(2)/(3)` hours

Option (4) will be the answer.
