Question

Jordan spent 5 hours over the weekend studying for 3 tests. He spent an equal amount of time studying for each test

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Jordan spent 5 hours studying for 3 test with equal amount of time studying for each test.

On the number line, there are 3 small segments between each number.

Every small segment will represent time = $\frac{1}{3}$ hours

Total number of small segments = 15

If Jordan takes 3 equal durations for the study of each test,

Total number of small segments for each test = $\frac{15}{3}=5$

Now we can plot these points on the number line.

Further count the segments for the answer ( 1 hour plus 2 small segments)

= 1 + $2\times \frac{1}{3}$

= $1\frac{2}{3}$

Therefore, time given for studying each test = $1\frac{2}{3}$ hours

Option (4) will be the answer.
