Question

Carl worked six and one-half hours on Monday. He worked eight and two-third hours on Tuesday. How many hours did Carl work in all?

Answer 1

6 1/2 hours on Monday

8 2/3 hours on Tuesday

You have to make the fractions equal to each other so you would have

1/2 x 3 = 3/6

2/3 x 2 = 4/6

Then add them together to get

7/6 or 1 1/6

6+8 = 14

Then add the 1 to 14 to get 15

1/6 of an hour is 10 minutes

Therefore your answer would be 15 hours and 10 minutes

Answer 2

15 hours and 10 min
