in a day jamal spent 1 2/3 hours watching television 1 4/5 hours taking an afternoon nap, and 7/8 hour helping his mother with housework how much time did Jamal spend on watching television and helping with housework
do I have to change this into minutes? I don't know how to set it up to show my child thank you
1 2/3 + 7/8 = 5/3 + 7/8 = 40/24 + 21/24 = ? in hours.
Or your could convert to minutes.
60 + 40 + 52.5 = ? in minutes
To find out how much time Jamal spent on watching television and helping with housework, we need to add the individual times together. We can work with the fractions or convert them to minutes if you prefer.
First, let's work with the fractions:
Jamal spent 1 2/3 hours watching television.
Jamal spent 1 4/5 hours taking an afternoon nap.
Jamal spent 7/8 hour helping his mother with housework.
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common denominator for 3, 5, and 8 is 120.
Converting the fractions to have a denominator of 120:
1 2/3 hours = 1 hour + 2/3 hour = 1 hour + (2/3) x (40/40) = 1 hour + 80/120 hours = 1 hour 80/120 hours = 1 80/120 hours = (120 + 80) / 120 hours = 200/120 hours
1 4/5 hours = 1 hour + 4/5 hour = 1 hour + (4/5) x (24/24) = 1 hour + 96/120 hours = 1 hour 96/120 hours = (120 + 96) / 120 hours = 216/120 hours
7/8 hour = (7/8) x (120/120) = 840/960 hours
Now let's add the fractions together:
(200/120) + (216/120) + (840/960) = (200 + 216 + 840) / 120 = 1256/120 hours
Simplifying the fraction, if necessary:
1256/120 = 10 56/120 hours = 10 7/15 hours
So Jamal spent 10 7/15 hours on watching television and helping with housework.
If you prefer to convert the hours to minutes, we can do that too. Since there are 60 minutes in one hour:
10 7/15 hours = (10 x 60) + (7/15 x 60) minutes = 600 + 28 minutes = 628 minutes
So Jamal spent 628 minutes on watching television and helping with housework.
To find out how much time Jamal spent on watching television and helping with housework, you can add the time spent on watching television and the time spent helping with housework.
Let's start by converting the given time into a common denominator, which is 24. We'll convert the hours and fractions of hours into minutes.
For watching television:
1 2/3 hours = (1 * 60) + (2/3 * 60) = 60 + 40 = 100 minutes
For helping with housework:
7/8 hour = (7/8 * 60) = 52.5 minutes (rounded to the nearest minute)
Now, we can add the two times together to find the total time:
Total time = Time spent watching television + Time spent helping with housework
Total time = 100 minutes + 52.5 minutes
Total time = 152.5 minutes
Therefore, Jamal spent a total of 152.5 minutes on watching television and helping with housework.
