Answer 1

Answer:

Monica spent 0.55 hours listening to Brahms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total time spent listening to Brahms =

Amount of time spent  listening to tapes of Beethoven and Brahms - Amount of time spent  listening to Beethoven

$=\dfrac{3}{4}-\dfrac{1}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{15-4}{20}\\\\=\dfrac{11}{20}\text{ Hours}\\\\=0.55\text{ Hours}$

Thus, Monica spent  $\frac{11}{20}\text{ hours}$ listening to Brahms.
