Nyoko needs to be at school at 7:45 AM. It takes her 15 minutes to walk to school, 5/12 hour to eat breakfast, 0.7 hour to get dressed, and 0.15 hour to shower. At what time should Nyoko get up to be at school 5 minutes early?
so, she wants to be at school at 7.40 (5 mins early)
she needs:
15 mins
5/12 hours (which is \(\frac{5}{12} = \frac{25}{60}\), so 25 mins
so far: 40 mins
then 0.7 and 0.15: we can add those, since they're in decimals: 0.85.
how many minutes is this?
\(\frac{85}{100} *60= \frac{85}{10} *6=\frac{85}{5} *3=\frac{13}{1} *3=39\)
so 39 mins.
together with the previous 40, it's 79 minutes, which is 1 hour and 19 minutes: so she needs to wake up 1 hour and 19 minutes before 7.40 , which is
6.21!
