Answer 1

Since Brianna has a total of 5/6 of an hour to finish all three sections and she is allowed the same amount of time for each section, she needs to divide 5/6 by 3. This calculation gives us 5/18, or Start Fraction 5 over 18 End Fraction. Therefore, Brianna has Start Fraction 5 over 18 End Fraction hours to spend on each section. The correct answer is 5/18 hour.
