Question

pupils are required to spend 3/8 of the day at school and 2/3 of that time in class. How much time do they spend doing Mathematics? Give your answer in minutes.​

Answer 1

Answer:

$Time \ in\ school = \frac{3}{8} \ of \ the \ day$

                      = $\frac{3}{8} \times 24 = 9 \ hours \ in \ school$

$Time \ in \ class = \frac{2}{3} \ of \ the \ time \ in \ school = \frac{2}{3} \times 9 = 6 \ hours \ in \ class$

1 hour = 60 minutes

Therefore, 6 hours = 360 minutes

So , 360 minutes they spent doing mathematics.
