Question

One fine evening, Boney goes running for three-fourths of an hour. After returning home, he goes for grocery shopping with his mother for two-thirds of an hour.
Find how many minutes Boney spent in running and shopping.

• A. 45 minutes
• B. 95 minutes
• C. 85 minutes
• D. 75 minutes

Answer 1

The correct option is C 85 minutes

We know,
1 hour = 60 minutes

Time spent in running
= Three-fourths of an hour
$=\frac{3}{4}\times 60$

= 45 minutes

Time spent in grocery shopping
= Two-thirds of an hour
$=\frac{2}{3}\times 60$

= 40 minutes

∴ Total minutes spent in running and grocery shopping = 45 + 40 = 85 minutes

Thus, Boney spends 85 minutes in running and shopping.
