Caleb took a two and one-half hour nap after soccer practice on Saturday afternoon. His younger brother slept one and three-fifths times as long as Caleb. How many hours did his brother sleep?

Question

well first of all, I'd convert it into minutes so two and a half hour nap= 150min
if his bro slept 1 and 3/5 times as long you want to make that into a decimal which would be 1.6.... multiply 150 by 1.6 to get 240 min... convert back into hours and you got your answer

actually you would add 150 and 240 to get 390.... then simplify back to hours.... so 390 divided by 60 is 6.5 so he took a 6 and a half hour nap... I'm pretty sure
