The answer is D

Because
5/6 - 1/3
=5/6 - 2/6
=3/6
=1/2h

Answer:

D 1/2 h

Explanation:

To find how much more time Jared has to work, you must take the total time he must work and subtract the time he has already worked.


(5)/(6)-(1)/(3)

1. First take out the common denominator:


(5)/(6)-(1)/(3)=(5-2)/(6)

2. Then make the operations:


(5)/(6)-(1)/(3)=(3)/(6)

3. Finally simplify the expression:


(5)/(6)-(1)/(3)=(1)/(2)

Therefore Jared needs to work
(1)/(2) hour to end his shift.
