Jose spent 2 3/10 hours playing basketball outside, and he played outside for a total pf 5 hours. how many hours did he spend not playing playing basketball. explaine your answer.

To get the time spend outside but not playing basketball... we subtract his basketball time from the total time.

5 - 2 3/10 = 2 7/10

2 7/10

he spent 2.7 hours not playing basketball.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount of time that Joe spent in playing basketball outside is 2 3/10 hours. Converting 2 3/10 hour to improper fraction, it becomes

23/10 hours

The total amount of time that Joe spent playing outside is 5 hours.

This means that the sum of the amount of time that Joe spent playing basket outside and the amount of time spent not playing basketball outside = 5. Therefore,

The number of hours that Joe spent NOT playing playing basketball will be

5 - 23/10 = (50 - 23)/10 = 27/10 hours = 2.7 hours
