Total class time from 2:45 to 4:30 =>105
lecture lasted from 2:45 to 4:15 => 90 minutes
question-and-answer session lecture lasted from 4:15 to 4:30 => 15 minutes
question-and-answer session was what fraction of the total class time = \(\frac{15}{105}\) = \(\frac{1}{7}\)
Hence option A

Solution
Given:
- • A certain class, consisting of a lecture and a question-and-answer session, lasted from 2:45 to 4:30 one afternoon
• The lecture lasted from 2:45 to 4:15
To find:
- • Fraction of question and answer session of the total class time
- o i.e. Question and Answer session time/Total class time.
Approach and Working:
- • We are given that the class lasted from 2:45 to 4:30 PM
- o i.e. a total of 1 Hour and 45 Minutes.
o Converting the units into minutes we get:
- Total Cass Time: 105 Minutes (60 minutes + 45 minutes)
- • Lecture lasted from 2:45 to 4:15 PM
- o i.e. for 1 Hour and 30 Minutes
o Converting into minutes we get
- Lecture time = 90 Minutes.
- • Therefore, Question-and-answer-session time = Class time – Lecture Time
- o i.e. 105 – 90 Minutes = 15 minutes
Hence Fraction of Question and answer time/Class time = \(\frac{15}{105} = \frac{1}{7}\)
Hence, the correct answer is option A.
Answer: A

The total time was 105 minutes, and the lecture was 90 minutes. Thus, the question-and-answer session was 15 minutes, which is 15/105 = 1/7 of the total class time.
Answer: A

Can be solved with some mental math and approximation.
if the class were held from 2:30 sharp to 4:30 sharp, then total it would have been an even 2 hours= 120 mins. However since the class started at 2:45, all we need to do is reduce 15 mins from 120 mins to find the total minutes of the session = 120-15= 105 mins
The Q&A was clearly only 15 mins (from 4:15- 4:30). so the fraction can be calculated as= Q&A session/Total session time = 15 mins/105 mins= 1/7. final answe : A

total class time: 105 min
lecture time: 90 min
Length of Q & A: 105 - 90 = 15 min
15/105 = 1/7
IMO Ans = A
lecture time: 90 min
Length of Q & A: 105 - 90 = 15 min
15/105 = 1/7
IMO Ans = A
