20 minutes remaining.
(Read the explanation for further details.)
Explanation:
1.Based on the given information, set up an equation;
(1 2/3) hours ; (5/6) story
Convert to improper fractions;
(1 2/3) ; (5/6)
(5/3) ; (5/6)
2. Solve;
(5/3) ; (5/6)
divide both sides by (5/6)
(5/3) ; (5/6)
/(5/6) /(5/6)
Dividing a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal
(5/3)/(5/6) ; (5/3)/(5/3)
(5/3)*(6/5) ; (5/3)*(3/5)
2 ; 1
2 hours; 1 story
3. Solve for the time remaining;
Subtract the amount of time elapsed from that total amount of time
total time - time used
2 hours - 1 2/3 hours
Convert to improper fractions
2 - 5/3
1/3 hour
Convert to minutes
20 minutes
