Question

time does she spend doing stretching exercises? Write the answer in simplest form. (1 point)

Answer 1

To find out how much time Lara spends doing stretching exercises, we need to multiply the total workout time by the fraction of time she spends doing stretching exercises.

1 3/4 hours can also be written as 7/4 hours.

So, Lara spends 7/4 * 2/5 = 14/20 hours doing stretching exercises.

Simplifying the fraction 14/20, we get the final answer:

14/20 = 7/10

Therefore, Lara spends 7/10 of an hour or 42 minutes doing stretching exercises.
