Maya chatted online with all her friends for 2/3 of an hour on saturday and 1/4 of an hour on sunday.During that time period she chatted with Paul for 1/8 of an hour. What fraction of the time Maya spent chatting with her friends online was spent chatting with Paul?
100 * (1/8)/ (8/12+3/12)
= 100 * (1/8) / (11/12)
= 100 * (3/24)(22/24)
= 100 (3/22)
= 13.6%
To find the fraction of the time Maya spent chatting with Paul, we need to compare the time she spent chatting with Paul to the total time she spent chatting with her friends.
First, let's calculate the total time Maya spent chatting with her friends over the weekend. We are given that Maya spent 2/3 of an hour on Saturday and 1/4 of an hour on Sunday.
To find the total time, we add the time spent on both days:
2/3 + 1/4
To add these fractions, we need to find the least common denominator (LCD), which is the smallest number divisible by both 3 and 4. In this case, the LCD is 12.
Converting the fractions to have a denominator of 12:
2/3 = (2/3) * (4/4) = 8/12
1/4 = (1/4) * (3/3) = 3/12
Adding the fractions:
8/12 + 3/12 = 11/12
Therefore, Maya spent a total of 11/12 of an hour chatting with her friends over the weekend.
Now, let's calculate the fraction of the time Maya spent chatting with Paul. We are given that Maya chatted with Paul for 1/8 of an hour.
Therefore, Maya spent 1/8 of the total time chatting with Paul.
To find the fraction, we divide the time spent chatting with Paul by the total time spent chatting with friends:
1/8 รท 11/12
To divide fractions, we need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
1/8 * 12/11
Simplifying the multiplication:
(1 * 12) / (8 * 11) = 12/88
Therefore, Maya spent 12/88 of the time chatting with Paul.
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:
12/88 = (12/4) / (88/4) = 3/22
Therefore, the fraction of the time Maya spent chatting with Paul is 3/22.
3/22
very boring
2/3 = 16/24
1/4 = 6/24
1/8 = 3/24
(3/24) / (25/24)
(3/24) * (24/25) = 72/600 = 12/100 = 3/25
