Answer 1

Answer:

4/5 of an hour doing these activites.

Step-by-step explanation:

An hour has 60 minutes.

Janine

A tenth of an hour making the bed. So (1/10)*60 = 6 minutes making the bed.

A fifth of an hour getting dressed. So (1/5)*60 = 12 minutes getting dressed.

Half an hour eating breakfast. So (1/2)*60 = 30 minutes eating breakfast.

What fraction of an hour does she spend doing these activities?

She spens 6+12+30 = 48 minutes doing these activities. An hour has 60 minutes. So she spends 48/60 = 8/10 = 4/5 of an hour doing these activites.
