Question

Sonu plays for 20 minutes. What fraction of an hour did he spend in playing?

• A. $\frac{2}{3}$
• B. $\frac{1}{4}$
• C. $\frac{1}{3}$
• D. $\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{1}{3}$

Let us visually represent the time spent in playing.
Here, we see that only one of three equal parts of an hour, is spent in eating.
So, the fractional representation of the time spent in eating = $\frac{1}{3}$
An alternative method to find it is by relating 20 and 60.
We know 20 x 3 = 60
so 20 = (\frac{1}{3}\) x 60
