Answer:

<h2>She spend 1/18 hour on each type of stretch.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Elin's problem is to divide the total hours 1/3 into 6 type of stretches, equally. And that's what we have to do, divide, that's it. The equation would be:

$6x=\frac{1}{3}hour$

Because, we want to find the time per stretch that must sum 1/3 of an hour. Now, we solve for $x$ :

$6x=\frac{1}{3}hour\\x=\frac{1}{18}hour$

Therefore, she spend 1/18 hour on each type of stretch.
