It took Bethany ⅔ of an hour to complete her science homework. It took Bethany ¾ of the amount of time to do her math homework as her science homework. How many more minutes did it take Bethany to complete her science than her math homework?
science = 2/3 * 60 = 40 minutes
math = (3/4) 40 = 30 minutes
40 - 30 = 10 as I remember
Uh, yeah. You're correct :)
Uh, yeah, not the same Anonymous :)
To find out how many more minutes it took Bethany to complete her science homework than her math homework, we need to calculate the difference in time.
First, let's convert ⅔ of an hour to minutes. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can multiply ⅔ by 60:
(⅔) × 60 = 40 minutes
So, it took Bethany 40 minutes to complete her science homework.
Next, we need to find out how long it took Bethany to complete her math homework. We know that it took her ¾ of the amount of time to do her math homework as her science homework. So, we can multiply ¾ by 40 minutes:
(¾) × 40 = 30 minutes
Therefore, it took Bethany 30 minutes to complete her math homework.
Now, we can calculate the difference in time:
40 minutes (science) - 30 minutes (math) = 10 minutes
Thus, it took Bethany 10 more minutes to complete her science homework than her math homework.
