Question

Arnold's entire workout consisted of 10 minutes of warm up exercise, 25 minutes of lifting weights, and 15 minutes on the treadmill. What was the ratio of the number of minutes he lifted weights to the total number of minutes of his entire workout?

Answer 1

15:50 = 3:10

3:10 is the answer

Answer 2

Add all the times together:

10 + 25 + 15 = 50 minutes total.

For the ratio divide the time for weights by total time:

25/50 which reduces to 1/2

The ratio is 1/2
