Question

Wayne exercised for 5/6 of an hour in the morning and 1/3 of an hour in the evening. How much more of an hour did Wayne spend exercising in the morning than in the evening?

Answer 1

`(1)/(2)` of an hour

Explanation:

Given:

Wayne exercised for 5/6 of an hour in the morning and 1/3 of an hour in the evening

To find:

Additional hours spent by Wayne exercising in the morning than in the evening.

Solution:

Time spent by Wayne in the morning =
`(5)/(6)` of an hour

Time spent by Wayne in the evening =
`(1)/(3)` of an hour =
`(2)/(6)` of an hour

So, Wayne spends
`(5)/(6)-(2)/(6)=(3)/(6)=(1)/(2)` more in the morning than in the evening.
