Question

You read a book for 5/6 of an hour. You spend 3/8 of that time reading the first chapter. What fraction of the hour do you spend reading the first chapter?

Answer 1

Well, 5/6 of an hour is 50 minutes. 3/8 of 50 is 6.25. 6.25 times 3 is 18.75.
I believe 18 minutes and 45 seconds. 

Answer 2

5/6 of an hour. That is 60 mins in a hour. 1/6 is 10 mins. x 5 = 50 mins.

50 x3 / 8 = 18.75 minutes. 18.75 / 60 = 31.25

31.25 is your final answer.
