Sagot :

One week exercise 3 hours at school and another 2/3 of an hour at home

1/5 of the students total exercise came from basketball

Excersise total = 3 hours + 2/3 hour = 3 (60) minutes + (2/3)(60) minutes = 180 + 40 = 220 minutes

Of this total, 1/5 came from basketball:

(1/5)(220) minutes = 44 minutes

Answer:

The students spend 44 minutes per week playing basketball

Also, using fractions, you can write:

[tex](3\frac{2}{3})\frac{1}{5}=\frac{11}{3}\frac{1}{5}=\frac{11}{15}[/tex]

In this case, you would say:

The students spend 11/15 of an hour per week playing basketball
