She spent 1/6 of an hour i.e. 10 minutes on each skill.
What is area model?
In area model for multiplication a rectangle is used to represent multiplication between two quantities. Width and Length of the rectangle are assigned the numerical value of the two quantities being multiplied.
Solution
Let the number of skills be represented by the length of the rectangle in the figure.
Let the time spent(in hours), which is same for all skills, on each skill be represented by the width of the rectangle in the figure.
The area of the rectangle = length × width = 5 × t = 5t hours.
This area represents total time spent on five skills, which is 5/6 hours.
The smaller rectangles into which the whole rectangle is divided have area 1 × t = t hours. This represents time spent on one skill.
From the figure, such five smaller and equal rectangles constitutes the whole rectangle.
So, area of one smaller rectangle = Area of big rectangle / number of small rectangles = (5/6)/5 = 1/6 hours.
Since, this represents time spent on one skill. So, the required time is 1/6 hours.
She practice each skill for 1/6 of an hour.
