The correct question is;

Last night, Roberto spent 90 minutes doing homework, 2/3 hour reading, and 540 seconds making his lunch for the next day. How many more minutes did Roberto spend doing homework than he did reading and making his lunch? 81 minutes 50 minutes 49 minutes 41 minutes

Answer:

41 minutes

Explanation:

We are given;

Time spent on homework = 90 minutes

Time spent reading = 2/3 hours = 2/3 × 60 minutes = 40 minutes

Time spent making lunch = 540 seconds = 540/60 minutes = 9 minutes

We want to find how many more minutes Roberto spent doing homework than he did reading and making his lunch.

Thus;

Time spent on reading and making lunch = 40 + 9 = 49 minutes

Hence, the word "how many more" means we will subtract 49 from 90.

So, "how many more minutes" = 90 - 49 = 41 minutes
