2/5
hour

Answer 1

To find out how much time Brianna has to spend on each section, we first need to divide the total time she has (5/6 hour) by the number of sections (3).

Here’s how that calculation goes:

1. Total time available: \( \frac{5}{6} \) hour
2. Number of sections: 3

Now, divide \( \frac{5}{6} \) by \( 3 \):

\[ \frac{5}{6} \div 3 = \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5 \times 1}{6 \times 3} = \frac{5}{18} \]

So, the amount of time Brianna has to spend on each section is \( \frac{5}{18} \) hour.

The correct response is:

5/18 hour (or \( \text{Start Fraction 5 over 18 End Fraction hour} \)).
