Question

A game lasts 5/8 hours. Jane played 4 of these games.
For how long did she play in total?

Answer 1

Answer: 2 hours 30 minutes in total.

Step-by-step explanation: Because when it says that a game lasts for 5/8 hours and Jane only play 4 of these games, Which means that you have to multiply the number of hours lasted by the total number of games that have been played. Therfore 5/8 x 4 = 20/8 but you simplify your answer and you will get 2 hours and 30 minutes in total.

Answer 2

2 1/2 hours. you multiply the fractions 5/8 x 4/1, multiply across the numerators and denominators to get 20/8, simply that to 2 1/2.
