Question

Sandy spent 1/4 of an hour waiting to see the dentist which was 1/6 of the total time she spent at the dentist's office. What was the total amount of time Sandy spent at the dentist's office?.

Answer 1

Answer:

90 minutes or 1 hour and 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Sandy spent 1/4 of an hour waiting to see the dentist

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can divide 60 by four to find 1/4 of an hour. 1/4 of an hour is 15 minutes, so sandy spent 15 minutes waiting to see the dentist.

which was 1/6 of the total time she spent at the dentist's office

we know that 15 minutes was 1/6 of the time she spent at the dentist's office, so we can multiply 15 by 6 to find the total amount of time spent.

15*6 = 90
