Question

Aikong spent 3/8 of his time studying Science. He spent 2/5 as much time studying English as Science. WHAT fraction of Aikong's study time was spent studying English?

Answer 1

Time spent by Aikong in studying English = $\frac{2}{5}$ as much time in studying Science

Time taken in studying Science = $\frac{3}{8}$ of his time

Time spent by Aikong in studying English = $\frac{2}{5}$ of $\frac{3}{8}$

= $\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{3}{8}$

=$\frac{6}{40}$

Reducing it to the lowest term.

=$\frac{3}{20}$

Answer 2

3/8*2/5=3/20 time spent studying English
