Question

Last week, Suman spent $10$ hours watching television. Shobha watched television for $\frac{1}{3}$ as many hours as Suman did. How many hours did Shobha spend watching television?

• A. $\frac{10}{3}$
• B. $\frac{10}{1}$
• C. $\frac{10}{2}$
• D. $\frac{8}{3}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Shobha spent $\frac{1}{3}$ times of $10$ hours(Suman's time spent) watching television.
$=\frac{1}{3}\times 10$

$=\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{10}{1}$

$=\frac{1\times 10}{3\times 1}$

$=\frac{10}{3}$

Therefore, Shobha spent $\frac{10}{3}$ hours for watching television.

Hence, Option A is correct.
