Answer 1

Answer:
`(5)/(6)`

Explanation:

Let's call the time he carried the ball: t

You know that he bounced the ball for 1/3 of his recess.

You also know that he threw the ball in the air and caught it 3/6 of the time.

Therefore, to solve the exercise you only need to add both fractions, as you can see below. Therefore, the result is:

`t=`
`(1)/(3)`+
`(3)/(6)`

`t=`
`(5)/(6)`
