Answer:
54 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of fractions is ...
2/5 + 3/20 + 1/3 = 11/20 +1/3 = (3·11 + 20·1)/(20·3) = 53/60
Then the 42 minutes devoted to English represents 1 - 53/60 = 7/60 of her study time.
Kaya's social studies time is 3/20 = 9/60 of her total, so the ratio of SS to Eng is ...
SS : Eng = (9/60) : (7/60) = 9 : 7
When we multiply the numbers in this ratio by 6, we find ...
SS : Eng = 54 : 42
Kaya spent 54 minutes studying social studies.
