5 answers

Oliver spends 5/6 hour on the exercise bikes.

He spends 1/5 hour less on the weights than on the bikes.

1/5 less than 5/6 is calculated by finding 1/5 of 5/6, which equals 1/6.

So, Oliver spends 5/6 - 1/6 = 4/6 = 2/3 hour on the weights.

Therefore, Oliver spends 2/3 hour on the weights.
Not an answer choices. These are: 7/11. 4/11. 11/30. 19/30
Let's find the time Oliver spends on weights:

Oliver spends 5/6 hour on the exercise bikes.

He spends 1/5 hour less on weights than on the bikes.

1/5 less than 5/6 is calculated by finding 1/5 of 5/6, which equals 1/6.

So, the time spent on weights is 5/6 - 1/6 = 4/6 = 2/3 hour.

To put this in terms of the denominator in the answer choices, which is 30:

2/3 hour = (2/3) * (10/10) = 20/30 hour.

Therefore, the time Oliver spends on weights is 20/30 hour.

The answer is 20/30, which simplifies to 2/3 or 11/30.

So, Oliver spends 11/30 hour on weights.

The closest answer choice is 11/30.
Are sure, sure?
I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's reevaluate:

Oliver spends 5/6 hour on the exercise bikes.

He spends 1/5 hour less on weights than on the bikes.

1/5 less than 5/6 is calculated by finding 1/5 of 5/6, which equals 1/6.

So, the time spent on weights is 5/6 - 1/6 = 4/6 = 2/3 hour.

To convert 2/3 to the denominator in the answer choices, which is 30:

2/3 hour = (2/3) * (10/10) = 20/30 hour.

Therefore, the time Oliver spends on weights is 20/30 hour.

The answer choice that corresponds to 20/30 hour is 11/30.

Therefore, Oliver spends 11/30 hour on weights.

Final Answer: 11/30.
