Question

You spend 30 minutes reading emails. You then spend 2 hours playing video games . Write the ratio of the amount of time reading emails to the amount of time spent playing on video games as a fraction in a simple form.

Answer 1

`(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

Step 1: State what is given

2 hours playing games or 120 minutes

30 minutes reading email

Step 2: Put information into fraction

`(email)/(games) = (30)/(120)`

Step 3: Simplify the fraction by 30

`(30)/(120)=(1)/(4)`

Therefore the fraction representing how long he plays games and reads email is
`(1)/(4)`
