Question

Yolanda spends 8 2⁄3 hours per month playing soccer. Approximately how many hours does she play soccer in a year? (There are twelve months in a year.)

Answer 1

8.667 X 12 = 104(approximately)
because 2/3 =0.666666666666

Answer 2

Convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction:


`8 * 3 = 24`

`24 + 2 = 26`


`8(2)/(3) = (26)/(3)`

Multiply the amount hours Yolanda plays per month by how many months there are in a year:


`(26)/(3) * 12 = (312)/(3)`

Simplify the fraction:


`312 / 3 = 104`

Yolanda spends 104 hours playing soccer in a year.
