Solution

Given:

Time spent at the park =

[tex]\begin{gathered} 5\text{ }\frac{1}{2}\text{ hours} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

Convert this time to minutes

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Recall that } \\ \text{1 hour = }60\text{ minutes} \\ 5\frac{1}{2}\text{ hours = 5}\frac{1}{2}\text{ x 60}=\frac{11}{2}\text{ x 60 = 330 minutes} \\ \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

Time spent at the library is 210 minutes fewer than that spent at the park.

This implies the time spent at the library is

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Time spent at the park minus 210 minutes} \\ =330\text{ minutes - 210 minutes} \\ =120\text{ miutes} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The answer is 120 minutes
