Jay spent 6 hours playing games, studying and talking with his friends. he spent 2/5 of the time playing games and 1/2 of the time studying. how many minutes did he spend talking with his friends?
2/5 + 1/2 = 4/10 + 5/10 = 9/10 of his time.
1 - 9/10 = 10/10 - 9/10 = 1/10 of his time talking with friends.
T = 1/10 * 6 = 0.6 h = 36 min. talking with friends.
2/5 * 6 + 1/2 * 6 + x = 6
Now just find x
2/5 + x = 36
Well, if Jay spent 6 hours in total, we can break it down. He spent 2/5 of the time playing games, so that would be (2/5) * 6 hours = 2.4 hours playing games.
He also spent 1/2 of the time studying, so that would be (1/2) * 6 hours = 3 hours studying.
To find out how much time Jay spent talking with his friends, we subtract the time he spent playing games and studying from the total time, which is 6 hours.
6 hours - 2.4 hours (playing games) - 3 hours (studying) = 0.6 hours.
Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, Jay spent 0.6 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 36 minutes talking with his friends.
So, Jay spent 36 minutes talking with his friends!
To find out how many minutes Jay spent talking with his friends, we first need to determine the total time he spent on playing games and studying.
We know that Jay spent 6 hours in total. Let's calculate the time he spent on each activity.
To find the time spent on playing games, we multiply the total time (6 hours) by the fraction 2/5:
Time spent playing games = 6 hours * 2/5 = 12/5 hours or 2.4 hours
Similarly, to find the time spent on studying, we multiply the total time (6 hours) by the fraction 1/2:
Time spent studying = 6 hours * 1/2 = 6/2 hours or 3 hours
Now, let's find the time spent talking with friends. Since Jay spent a total of 6 hours playing games, studying, and talking with friends, we can calculate the time spent talking by subtracting the time spent on playing games and studying from the total time:
Time spent talking = Total time - (Time spent playing games + Time spent studying)
Time spent talking = 6 hours - (2.4 hours + 3 hours)
Time spent talking = 6 hours - 5.4 hours
Time spent talking = 0.6 hours
Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, we can convert 0.6 hours to minutes:
Time spent talking (in minutes) = 0.6 hours * 60 minutes/hour
Time spent talking = 36 minutes
Therefore, Jay spent 36 minutes talking with his friends.
