Answer:

1/15 of their time is free time.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer to this 2-step problem, we have to add all the fractions up, then find how much of that time is not part of the fraction.

So to add all the fractions, you have the equation:

1/4 + 3/5 + 1/12

The first thing we have to do is to find a common denominator.

4, 5, and 12 are each able to multiply into 60.

So we can make the equation now with a common denominator.

15/60+36/60+5/60=56/60.

We now can simplfy this.

56/60=14/15

Now that we know how long it is to do all the other activities, it tells us that the rest of the time is free time. To find the rest of the time, we have to do:

1-14/15=1/15

So 1/15 of their time is free time.

Theo drove 236 miles in 4 hours. Lex drove 195 miles in 3 hours. At those rates, could either man drive 116 miles in 2 hours? Sh
motikmotik

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

236÷4=59

     &

195÷3=65

<em>To check if either of them drove 116 miles in 2 hours, I would multiply the sum of the division problems by 2(for 2 hours).</em>

59 x 2 = 118

      &

65 x 2 = 130

None of them equals 116, meaning neither of them drove 116 miles in 2 hours.

<u><em>Hope I helped you! Have a great day! :)</em></u>
