Jay spent 6 hours playing games, studying and talking with his friends. he spent 2/5 of the time playing games and 1/2 of the time studying. how many minutes did he spend talking with his friends?

Answer 1

2/5 * 6 + 1/2 * 6 + x = 6
Now just find x

Answer 2

2/5 + 1/2 = 4/10 + 5/10 = 9/10 of his time.
1 - 9/10 = 10/10 - 9/10 = 1/10 of his time talking with friends.

T = 1/10 * 6 = 0.6 h = 36 min. talking with friends.

Answer 3

2/5 + x = 36
