Jose will spend 18 minutes on his science homework.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Time Jose have to spend on homework = 5/6 hour
We know that 1 hour = 60 minutes
Therefore;
[tex]\frac{5}{6}\ hour = \frac{5}{6}*60\ minutes\\\\\frac{5}{6}\ hour = 50\ minutes[/tex]
Time Jose have to spend on homework = 50 minutes
Time spent on math home work = [tex]\frac{1}{3}\ of\ his\ time[/tex]
Time spent on math home work = [tex]\frac{1}{3}*50=16.66\ minutes[/tex]
Rounding off to nearest whole minute;
Time spent on math homework = 17 minutes
Time spent on reading homework = 15 minutes
Total time spent = Mathematics + Reading + Science
50 = 17+15+Science
50 = 32 + Science
Science = 50-32 = 18 minutes
Jose will spend 18 minutes on his science homework.
