Maria is taking a math test that has 4 parts. She has a total of 3/4 of an hour to complete all the parts. If she is allowed the same amount of time to complete each part, how much time does she have to spend on each part?(1 point)
To find out how much time Maria has to spend on each part of the math test, divide the total time she has (3/4 of an hour) by the number of parts (4 parts).
So, Maria has 3/4 ÷ 4 = 3/4 × 1/4 = 3/16 hours to spend on each part.
Therefore, Maria has 3/16 hours to spend on each part of the math test.
To find the amount of time Maria has to spend on each part, we divide the total time she has by the number of parts: 3/4 hour / 4 parts = <<3/4/4=3/16>>3/16 hour/part. Answer: \boxed{\frac{3}{16}} \text{hour/part}.
To find out how much time Maria has to spend on each part, we need to divide the total time she has (3/4 of an hour) by the number of parts in the test (4 parts).
Let's calculate it step by step:
1. To divide a fraction by a whole number, we can multiply the fraction by the reciprocal of the whole number. In this case, we want to divide 3/4 by 4. The reciprocal of 4 is 1/4.
(3/4) ÷ 4 = (3/4) * (1/4)
2. Multiply the numerators and denominators:
(3/4) * (1/4) = (3 * 1) / (4 * 4) = 3/16
So, Maria has 3/16 of an hour to spend on each part.
However, the answer is usually expressed in a more common unit of time. Let's convert 3/16 of an hour to minutes:
1 hour = 60 minutes
We need to find out how many minutes are equal to 3/16 of an hour. To do that, we can multiply the number of minutes in an hour (60) by the fraction 3/16:
(3/16) * 60 = (3 * 60) / 16 = 180/16
Simplifying the fraction:
180/16 = 90/8 = 45/4
So, Maria has 45/4 minutes to spend on each part, which is equivalent to 11 1/4 minutes or 11 minutes and 15 seconds.
It has to be a whole number.
Apologies for the confusion. In that case, we can convert the fraction to a whole number.
To convert 3/16 into a whole number, divide the numerator (3) by the denominator (16):
3 ÷ 16 = 0.1875
Since we need a whole number, we can round 0.1875 to the nearest whole number, which is 0. Therefore, Maria has 0 hours to spend on each part.
Alternatively, if you would like to express the time in minutes, you can multiply the rounded whole number (0) by 60 to convert it into minutes. In this case, Maria has 0 minutes to spend on each part.
