Question

One day Maria spends 6/20 of the day asleep. Calculate in hours and minutes the amount of time she spends asleep.

Answer 1

7 hours and 12 minutes

Explanation:

there are 24 hours in a day, so multiply 6/20 by 24 to find the number of hours:

6*24/20 = 36/5 = 7 1/5 hours

we now know maria sleeps for 7 whole hours

next, there are 60 minutes in an hour, so multiply 1/5 by 60 to get 12 minutes
