Question

Abhijit spent $\frac{1}{3}$ of an hour painting his toy aeroplane and $\frac{1}{6}$ of an hour polishing his shoes. How much time(in hour) did he spend together?

• A. $\frac{1}{2}$
  
• B. $\frac{3}{2}$
• C. $\frac{5}{6}$
• D. 1

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$\frac{1}{2}$

Time spent in painting toy aeroplane = $\frac{1}{3}$ of an hour

Time spent in polishing his shoes = $\frac{1}{6}$ of an hour

Total time spent $=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6}$

$=\frac{1}{2}$ of an hour

Hence, option A is correct.
