Question

Colin's piano lesson is 45 minutes, or of an hour, long. If he practices 6 different songs and spends an equal amount of time on each song, what fraction of an hour does he spend practicing each song?​

Answer 1

The fraction of an hour he spends practicing each song will be 1/8.

What is the difference between a ratio and a proportion?

A ratio is an ordered pair of integers a and b expressed as a/b, with b never equaling 0. A percentage is a mathematical expression in which two ratios are specified to be equal.

Given data;

Time for the piano lesson = 45 minutes = (3/4)60 minute

Number of songs to be practiced = 6

The fraction of an hour does he spend practicing each song is;

$\rm \frac{3}{4} \times hour \times \frac {1}{6} \\\\\ \frac {1}{8} \ of \ an \ hour$

Hence, the fraction of an hour he spends practicing each song will be 1/8.
