Answer 2

Given:

The boy scout spent $\frac{10}{12}$  hours daily in exercise

He only used  $\frac{1}{4}$ hour in hiking

To find:

The time spent in doing other exercise.

Solution:

Number of hours spent in doing daily exercise = $\frac{10}{12}$ hours

Number of hours spent in hiking = $\frac{1}{4}$ hours

Time spent in doing other exercise = $\frac{10}{12} - \frac{1}{4}$

Time spent in doing other exercise = $\frac{10(4)-12(1)}{12(4)}$

Time spent in doing other exercise = $\frac{40-12}{48}$

Time spent in doing other exercise = $\frac{28}{48}$

Time spent in doing other exercise = $\frac{7}{12}$ hours

Final answer:

The time spent in doing other exercise is $\frac{7}{12}$ hours.
