Question

Donovan spent 2/15 hour walking to the mailbox, 1/6 hour walking to the library, and 2/10 hour walking to the park. Which took Donovan the longest amount of time to walk to? Explain.

Answer 1

The walk to the park took the longest amount of time

Explanation:

In this question, we want to find the location that took Donovan the longest amount of time to work.

We should recall that an hour is 60 minutes

So time spent walking to the mailbox would be 2/15 * 60 = 8 minutes

Time spent walking to the library would be 1/6 * 60 = 10 minutes

Time spent walking to the park = 2/10 * 60 = 12 minutes

So as we can see, the distance taking the longest amount of time to walk is the Park which took a total of 12 minutes
