Question

You exercise for `3/4` of an hour. You jump rope for `1/3` of that time. In simplest form, what fraction of the hour do you spend jumping rope?

Answer 1

You spend `1/4` of the hour jumping rope.

Explanation:

The question states that `1/3` of `3/4` of an hour is spent jumping rope.

To find this fraction, multiply `3/4` by `1/3`.

`3/4*1/3=3/12=1/4`

Another way to look at the question is this:

`3/4=1/4+1/4+1/4`

So one third of `3/4` is `1/4`
