Question

at her health club, Elke likes to use exercise bikes and weights. She spent 3/4 hour on the bikes and 1/5 hour less than that on the weights. How much time does she spend on the weights? Simplify answer if possible

Answer 1

If you would like to know how much time does Elke spend on the weights, you can calculate this using the following steps:

3/4 hour = 3/4 * 60 minutes = 45 minutes on the bikes
1/5 hour = 1/5 * 60 minutes = 12 minutes

12 minutes less than 45 minute: 45 - 12 = 33 minutes on the weights

The correct result would be 33 minutes.
