How much time did she spend doing her honework on Minday Tuesday and wednesday
I know how to concert 5/6 and 3/4 hour but not 5/8
If you can do 5/6 and 3/4, then you can do 5/8.
Just use a common denominator of 24 instead of 12.
On Monday, Leah spent 5/6 of an hour working on her homework, on Tuesday, she spent 3/4 of an hour on her homework, and on Wednesday she finished her homework in 5/8 of an hour. How much time in all did Leah spend doing her homework? On which day did Leah spend the least amount of time on her homework?
To find out how much time Leah spent doing homework on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, we need to add the fractions of an hour she spent on each day.
On Monday: Leah spent 5/6 of an hour doing homework.
On Tuesday: Leah spent 3/4 of an hour doing homework.
On Wednesday: Leah spent 5/8 of an hour doing homework.
To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 6, 4, and 8 is 24. We will convert each fraction to a denominator of 24:
On Monday: (5/6) * (4/4) = 20/24
On Tuesday: (3/4) * (6/6) = 18/24
Now, to convert 5/8 to a denominator of 24, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3:
On Wednesday: (5/8) * (3/3) = 15/24
Now, we can add the fractions:
20/24 + 18/24 + 15/24 = 53/24
So, Leah spent a total of 53/24 of an hour doing her homework on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
To convert this fraction to a mixed number (whole number and fraction), we divide the numerator (53) by the denominator (24) and get a quotient of 2 with a remainder of 5.
Therefore, Leah spent 2 hours and 5/24 of an hour doing her homework on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
