Question

Please help me

During his summer vacation, Alex spent 6 minutes riding his bike for every minute he spent watching television. If he rode his bike for 780 minutes, how many minutes did he spend watching television? Use an equation to solve.

______ minutes

Answer 1

130

Explanation:

This is a ratio problem. There are 6 minutes per 1 minute of television. We are looking to find how many minutes for television. Since we know he rode his bike for 780 minutes, and that 6 minutes of biking is equal to 1 minute, we can divide 780 by 6 to receive 130 minutes of television.
