Answer:
1 13/30
Step-by-step explanation:
Harry spell casting class lasts for 2 5/6 hours each day
= Convert it into a mixed fraction:-
= 2 5/6 = 17/6
And Today, he has been in the class for 1 2/5 of an hour so far.
= Convert it into a mixed fraction:-
= 1 2/5 = 7/5
Now, how much time is left?
= 17/6 - 7/5
Denominators are not equal, so make it equal.
For that, Find the LCM.
= LCM of 5 and 6 = 30
So, 17/6 = 17 x 5 / 6 x 5 = 85/30
Therefore, 7/5 = 7 x 6 / 5 x 6 = 42/30
= We have to find how much time is left, = 85/30 - 42/30
= 43/30 (in improper fraction)
= 1 13/30 (in mixed fraction)
