+4%2F5+-+1%2F3+ is the time listening to classical
+%28+4%2F5+%29%2A%28+3%2F3+%29+ is still +4%2F5+ -no change
+%28+1%2F3+%29%2A%28+5%2F5+%29+ is still +1%2F3+ -no change
+%28+4%2F5%29%2A%28+3%2F3+%29+-+%28+1%2F3+%29%2A%28+5%2F5+%29+
+12%2F15+-+5%2F15+
+7%2F15+ is the number of hours listening to classical
