Answer:

6 7/12 hours in June

Explanation:

Find the answer to this question by subtracting 6 4/6 hours from the total 13 1/4 hours:

13 1/4 hours is equivalent to 12 5/4 hours (we borrow '1' from 13 1/4).

Thus, we have

12 5/4 hours Note that the LCD of 5/4 and 4/6 is 12. Thus

- 6 4/6 hours we have

12 15/12 hours

- 6 8/12 hours

--------------------------

6 7/12 hours

Tristen walked 6 7/12 hours in June.
