Renee took a long flight to visit her family that lives out of the country. She slept for the first half of the trip and watched movies for one-fourth of the remaining flight. If the total trip took ten and one-half hours, how long did Renee watch movies?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Since she slept through half the trip, the remaining time would be 5 hours and 15 minutes, or 315 minutes (it helps to make it all into minutes).
A fourth of 315 minutes would be 78.75, so 

Renee watched movies for 1 hour, 18 minutes, and 45 seconds.

Or approximately an hour and 19 minutes.
