Question

18. Naruto practices his harmonica 1/4 hour, spends 2/3 hour working on

homework
, and takes another 1/4hour to do chores every day. How much
longer does Naruto spend practicing his harmonica and doing his chores
than working on homework?

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

If he uses 1 hour to practice harmonica, one our on homework, and another hour doing chores. He will be spending twice as much time practicing harmonica and doing homework than he would spend on chores.

Answer 2

10 minutes more on working with his homework than his chores and harmonica OR 1/6 hour (or any other equivalent fraction).

Explanation:

You can convert 1/4 into fifteen minutes. 15+15=30 minutes. Thus, he spends 30 minutes on his harmonica and doing chores.

You can convert 2/3 into 40 minutes.

40-30=10, so he spent 10 minutes more on working with his homework than his chores and harmonica.

Since you want it in fractions, you can find fractions that are equivalent to 10/60. One you can use is 1/6.

P.S. The Naruto reference is amazing xD
