Jose will spend 18 minutes on his science homework.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Time Jose have to spend on homework = 5/6 hour
We know that 1 hour = 60 minutes
Therefore;
![\frac{5}{6}\ hour = \frac{5}{6}*60\ minutes\\\\\frac{5}{6}\ hour = 50\ minutes](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B6%7D%5C%20hour%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B6%7D%2A60%5C%20minutes%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B6%7D%5C%20hour%20%3D%2050%5C%20minutes)
Time Jose have to spend on homework = 50 minutes
Time spent on math home work = ![\frac{1}{3}\ of\ his\ time](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%5C%20of%5C%20his%5C%20time)
Time spent on math home work = ![\frac{1}{3}*50=16.66\ minutes](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%2A50%3D16.66%5C%20minutes)
Rounding off to nearest whole minute;
Time spent on math homework = 17 minutes
Time spent on reading homework = 15 minutes
Total time spent = Mathematics + Reading + Science
50 = 17+15+Science
50 = 32 + Science
Science = 50-32 = 18 minutes
Jose will spend 18 minutes on his science homework.
