Hailie Bright · Answer 1

I will change hour to be minute

2 hours = 120minute

spent 3/5 of 120 minutes; 120 (3/5) = 24*3=72

he did his experiments for 72 minutes

72 of 120 is 72/120 = 3/5

spent 1/3 of 120 minutes; 120 (1/3) = 40

he spent the time at water station for 40 minutes

40 of 120 is 40/120 = 1/3

Looked at the skeletons 120 - (72+40) = 120-112=8

he spent the time lokking at skeletons for 8 minutes

8 of 120 is 8/120 = 1/15

Elise Evans · Answer 2

3/5 + 1/3 = 14/15

fraction spend looking on skeletons = 1/15
