Jim spoke on the phone with all his friends last weekend.On Saturday he spoke for 3/8 of an hour and on Sunday he spoke for half an hour. During that time spent, he spoke to liam for 1/8 of an hour .What fraction of the time Jim spent talking with his friends did he spend talking to Liam ?
(1/8)/(3/8 + 1/2)
(1/8)/(7/8)
1/8 * 8/7
1/7
To find the fraction of time Jim spent talking to Liam, we need to add up the total time Jim spent on the phone with his friends and then determine the portion of that time that was spent talking to Liam.
On Saturday, Jim spoke for 3/8 of an hour, and on Sunday, he spoke for half an hour.
To add these fractions together, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 8 and 2 is 8.
So 3/8 + 4/8 = 7/8. This means Jim spent a total of 7/8 of an hour talking with his friends over the weekend.
Now, we can determine the fraction of that time spent talking to Liam. Jim spoke to Liam for 1/8 of an hour.
To find the fraction of time Jim spent talking to Liam, we divide the time Jim spent talking to Liam by the total time he spent talking with his friends:
(1/8) รท (7/8) = 1/8 * 8/7 = 1/7.
Therefore, Jim spent 1/7 of the time talking with his friends talking to Liam.
