Answer:
2 19/20 minutes
Explanation:
Julio had 20 minutes to do a three-problem quiz. He spent 11 1 /4 minutes on question A and 5 4 /5 minutes on question B. How much time did he have left for question C?
The total number of minutes =
Number of minutes spent doing question (A + B + C)
Hence,
Hence, the number of minutes he had left for Question C is calculated as:
20 minutes - ( 11 1/4 + 5 4/5) minutes
20 minutes - ( 11 + 5 ( 1/4 + 4/5))
Lowest common denominator = 20
20 minutes - ( 16 + ( 5 + 16/20)
20 minutes - ( 16 + 21/20) minutes
20 minutes - (16 + 1 1/20) minutes
20 minutes - 17 1/20 minutes
= 2 19/20 minutes
Therefore he had 2 19/20 minutes left for Question C
