Answer:

1/18 hr per stretch

Step-by-step explanation:

total # of hrs / # of stretches

1/3 hr / 6 stretches = 1/18 hr per stretch

Answer:

She spend 1/18 hour on each type of stretch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Elin's problem is to divide the total hours 1/3 into 6 type of stretches, equally. And that's what we have to do, divide, that's it. The equation would be:

[tex]6x=\frac{1}{3}hour[/tex]

Because, we want to find the time per stretch that must sum 1/3 of an hour. Now, we solve for [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]6x=\frac{1}{3}hour\\x=\frac{1}{18}hour[/tex]

Therefore, she spend 1/18 hour on each type of stretch.
