Question

Kendra typically spends ( 1)/(3) of her evening homework on social studies and ( 2)/(5) of her homework time on english. finishing her social studies and english homework took 55 minutes. How much time does kendra spend on all of her homework?

Answer 1

To find out how much time Kendra spends on all of her homework, we'll add the time she spends on social studies and English.

Given:

Time spent on social studies: 1/3

Time spent on English: 2/5

Total time spent on social studies and English: 55 minutes

Let's calculate the time Kendra spends on each subject:

Time spent on social studies = (1/3) * 55 = 55/3 ≈ 18.33 minutes

Time spent on English = (2/5) * 55 = 110/5 = 22 minutes

To find the total time Kendra spends on all of her homework, we add the time for both subjects:

Total time spent on homework = Time spent on social studies + Time spent on English

= 18.33 minutes + 22 minutes

≈ 40.33 minutes

Therefore, Kendra spends approximately 40.33 minutes on all of her homework.
