Question

Joe spend 1 1/3 hours studying for his math test. randy studied for 1/2 the amou t the time that joe did. what fraction of an hour did randy spend studying

​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Lets convert 1 1/3 into improper fraction.

`1 (1)/(3) = (1 * 3 + 1)/(3) \\ = (4)/(3)`

Since Randy studied half the above time,

Randy Studied:

`(1)/(2) * (4)/(3) \\ = (1 * 4)/(2 * 3) \\ = (4 / 2)/(6 / 2) \\ = (2)/(3) hours`
