Solution
Given:
Time spent at the park =
[tex]\begin{gathered} 5\text{ }\frac{1}{2}\text{ hours} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]
Convert this time to minutes
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Recall that } \\ \text{1 hour = }60\text{ minutes} \\ 5\frac{1}{2}\text{ hours = 5}\frac{1}{2}\text{ x 60}=\frac{11}{2}\text{ x 60 = 330 minutes} \\ \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]
Time spent at the library is 210 minutes fewer than that spent at the park.
This implies the time spent at the library is
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Time spent at the park minus 210 minutes} \\ =330\text{ minutes - 210 minutes} \\ =120\text{ miutes} \end{gathered}[/tex]
The answer is 120 minutes
