. Michael plays 1/5 of a song in 1/15 of a minute. How much time will it take him to play an entire song?

Verified Answer :

1/5 is one out of the 5 parts of the song.  Now you need to multiply 1/15 by 5/1.  This will give you 5/15 or 1/3 of a minute.  It will take him 20 seconds to play the entire song.

Answer: \(\dfrac{1}{3}\) of a minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The time taken to play \(\dfrac{1}{5}\) of a song = \(\dfrac{1}{15}\) of a minute.

Then , The time taken to play an entire song will be : \(5\times\dfrac{1}{15}\) of a minute.

i.e. The time taken to play an entire song will be : \(\dfrac{1}{3}\) of a minute.

Hence, it will take  \(\dfrac{1}{3}\) of a minute to play the entire song.
