Benson spent 5/6 of an hour reading on each of three days this week. How long did Benson spent reading this week?

150 minutes

Explanation:

5/6 = 50/60. 60 min in an hour. so 5/6 would mean 50 min of 60. he spent 50 minutes each day reading. now since it says 3 days, youd multiply that by 3. ultimately, youd get 150 min in total.

Answer: You want to know how many hours he was reading per week. 5/6 * 3 = 15/6 Hours = 5/2 Hours = 2 Hours 30 minutes.
