Question

It takes Marty 1 1/4 hours to get ready for school. If 1/5 of that time is used to shower and 1/3 of that time is used to eat breakfast, how long does it take him to shower and eat breakfast?

Answer 1

Answer: 40 minutes

Explanation:

First, break this down into minutes. 1 1/4 hours is 75 minutes. 75 divided by 5 is 15. he spends 15 minutes taking a shower. 75 divided by 3 is 25. he spends 25 minutes eating breakfast. 25 plus 15 is 40. he spends 40 minutes to shower and eat breakfast.
