Question

Mary played for a total of 60 minutes. She spent one fifth of the time playing chess and the rest of the time playing a video game. How many minutes did Mary play the video game?

Answer 1

Answer:

If Mary played for a total of 60 minutes, and spend one fifth of the time on chess and remaining time on video games, then she played video games for 48 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total time Mary played = 60 minutes

Time she spent playing chess= 1/5 th of 60 minutes

So, the time she spent playing video games is 4/5 th of 60 minutes

That is,

$60*\frac{4}{5} \\\\=12*4 \\\\=48 minutes$
