the same storybook in 5/6 of an hour, will she take more time?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

She will take more time. She takes 1 hour and 10 min more

Step-by-step explanation:

Kavita reads a storybook in 3/5 of an hour=(3/5)60=36 min per book

Time taken to read 5 such storybooks is =36 x 5 =180 min

=3 hours

Now she reads  the same storybook in 5/6 of an hour. i,e (5/6)60= 50 min/book

Time taken to read 5 such storybooks is =50x 5 =250 min

=4 (1/6) hours

She will take more time. She takes 1 hour and 10 min more
