Question

Bryce has to complete 100 minutes of writing every ten days.He writes for 10 minutes each day. What fraction of his writing requirements does Bryce complete in five days.

Answer 1

Answer:

Bryce has complete $\frac12$ of his writing requirements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of minutes of writing to be completed in 10 days = $100\ mins$

Number of minutes he writes in each day = 10 mins

We need to find the fraction of writing requirements Bryce has completed in 5 days.

Solution:

1 day = 10 mins

5 day = Number of minutes he writes in 5 days.

Using Unitary method we get;

Number of minutes he writes in 5 days = $10\times 5 =50\ mins$

Now we can say that;

to find the fraction of writing requirements Bryce has completed in 5 days we will divide Number of minutes he writes in 5 days divided by Number of minutes of writing to be completed in 10 days.

framing in equation form we get;

fraction of writing requirements Bryce has completed in 5 days = $\frac{50}{100}=\frac12$

Hence Bryce has complete $\frac12$ of his writing requirements.
