Question

pupils are required to spend 3/8 of the day at school and 2/3 of that time in class. How much time do they spend doing Mathematics? Give your answer in minutes.​

Answer 1

`Time \ in\ school = (3)/(8) \ of \ the \ day`

=
`(3)/(8) * 24 = 9 \ hours \ in \ school`

`Time \ in \ class = (2)/(3) \ of \ the \ time \ in \ school = (2)/(3) * 9 = 6 \ hours \ in \ class`

1 hour = 60 minutes

Therefore, 6 hours = 360 minutes

So , 360 minutes they spent doing mathematics.
