Total number of hours she schduled to play the game = 3
(3)/(4) hours.

Let us convert mixed fraction into improper fraction


3(3)/(4) = (3*3+4)/(4) = (13)/(4) \ hours.

Duration of each round =
(7)/(12).

In order to find the number of rounds Nicole can play, we need to divide total number of hours by duration of each round.


(13)/(4) ÷
(7)/(12)

Converting division sign into multiplication flips the second fraction.


=(13)/(4) * (12)/(7)

Crossing out 12 by 4, we get 3 on the top of second fraction.


=(13)/(1) * (3)/(7)


=(39)/(7)  = 5.57...( Approximately).

Because problem is about number of rounds.

So, total number of round would be 5.
