Amanda spent 2/5 of her time after school doing homework and ¼ of her remaining time riding her bike. If she rode her bike for 45 minutes in a week, how much time did she devote to homework in the same week?

Respuesta :

Answer:120 min

Explanation:

Given

Amanda  spent [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] of her time after school doing Home work

And [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of her remaining  time riding her bike

It is given that she rode her bike for 45 minutes in a week

Let t be the time after school

therefore Amanda spend [tex]\frac{2t}{5}[/tex] in home work and  [tex]\frac{3t}{5}[/tex] time is left

From remaining [tex]\frac{3t}{5}[/tex] time she spends [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] time riding her bike

therefore [tex]\frac{3t}{5}\times \frac{1}{4}=45[/tex]

thus [tex]t=300 min[/tex]

therefore time  spent on home work is [tex]\frac{2}{5}\times 300=120 min[/tex]
