Question

Ginger exercised for 5 1/2 hours in 6 days.

Each day she stretched for 1/4 hour and then walked. How long did she walk each day?

Answer 1

45 minutes

Explanation:

Saying she uses 0.25 of an hour to stretch everyday that mean she will take 0.75 of an hour to walk

`(4)/(4) - (1)/(4) = (3)/(4)`

Then we need to calculate three-fourth of an hour to figure out how much time she spent walking.

`(3)/(4) * (60)/(1) = 3 * 15 = 45 \: minutes`

Done.
