First you'll need to get the same denominator. So instead of 3/5 and 3/8 you'll have 24/40 and 15/40. Now that we've changed the value of the denominator, the 40/40 will now represents the 1 hour that Jenny has before bedtime. So you add 24/40 and 15/40 and get 39/40. 39/40 stands for the time that Jenny has already spent brushing her teeth and texting her friend all together. Since the 1 hour is 40/40 subtract 39/40 from it to get 1/40. 1/40 is equal to the rest of the time Jenny spends reading or 1.5 minutes.

Further explanation

Given:

Jenny has an hour before its bedtime. Jenny spends $\frac{3}{5}$ of an hour texting a friend and $\frac{3}{8}$ of the remaining time brushing her teeth and putting on her pajamas.She spends the rest of the time reading her book.

Question:

How long did Jenny read?

The Process:

Step-1: We need to calculate the time of texting a friend in minutes.

Recall that $\boxed{1 \ hour = 60 \ minutes}$

$\boxed{\frac{3}{5} \ hour = \ ? \ minutes}$

$\boxed{\frac{3}{5} \ hour = \frac{3}{5} \times 60 \ minutes}$

We crossed out 5 and 60, i.e., $\boxed{60 \div 5 = 12}$

$\boxed{\frac{3}{5} \ hour = 3 \times 12 \ minutes}$

Therefore,

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ \frac{3}{5} \ hour = 36 \ minutes \ }}$

Step-2: Let us calculate the remaining time.

$\boxed{60 \ minutes - 36 \ minutes = 24 \ minutes }$

Step-3: Jenny spends $\frac{3}{8}$ of the remaining time brushing her teeth and putting on her pajamas.

$\boxed{\frac{3}{8} \times 24 \ minutes}$

We crossed out 8 and 24, i.e., $\boxed{24 \div 8 = 3}$

$\boxed{= 3 \times 3 \ minutes}$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ 9 \ minutes \ }}$

Step-4: Let us calculate how long Jenny read for the rest of time.

$\boxed{24 \ minutes - 9 \ minutes = 15 \ minutes }$

Thus, Jenny spent 15 minutes reading a book before its bedtime.

Quick Steps:

Let us calculate how long Jenny read for the rest of time.

$\boxed{ \ = \bigg(1 - \frac{3}{8} \bigg) \times \bigg(1 - \frac{3}{5} \bigg) \times 60 \ minutes \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = \frac{5}{8} \times \frac{2}{5} \times 60 \ minutes \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = \frac{10}{40} \times 60 \ minutes \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = \frac{1}{4} \times 60 \ minutes \ }$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ 15 \ minutes \ }}$
