Brianna is taking a writing assessment that has 3 sections. She has a total of 5/6 of an hour to finish all the sections. If she is allowed the same amount of time to finish each section, how much time does she have to spend on each section?(

Answer 1

To find out how much time Brianna has to spend on each section, we need to divide the total time she has by the number of sections.
Brianna has 5/6 of an hour to finish all the sections.
Since there are 3 sections, she has 5/6 divided by 3, or 5/6 * 1/3 = 5/18 of an hour to spend on each section.
To convert this fraction to minutes, we need to multiply it by the number of minutes in an hour, which is 60. So 5/18 * 60 = 300/18 = 50/3 minutes.
Therefore, Brianna has to spend 50/3 minutes on each section.
