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;

$\frac{5}{6}\ hour = \frac{5}{6}*60\ minutes\\\\\frac{5}{6}\ hour = 50\ minutes$

Time Jose have to spend on homework = 50 minutes

Time spent on math home work = $\frac{1}{3}\ of\ his\ time$

Time spent on math home work = $\frac{1}{3}*50=16.66\ minutes$

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.
