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?(1 point) Responses

Answer 1

To find out how much time Brianna has for each section, we need to divide the total time she has by the number of sections.

Brianna has a total of \( \frac{5}{6} \) of an hour and there are 3 sections.

To calculate the time for each section:

\[ \text{Time per section} = \frac{\frac{5}{6} \text{ hour}}{3} \]

This can be written as:

\[ \text{Time per section} = \frac{5}{6} \div 3 = \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{3} \]

Now we proceed with the multiplication:

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

Therefore, Brianna has \( \frac{5}{18} \) of an hour to spend on each section.
