Question

Yolanda spends 82⁄3 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

104 hours a year

Explanation:

Change 8 2/3 to an improper fraction

(3*8 + 2) /3 = 26/3

Multiply 12 * 26/3 for the 12 months she plays

12 * 26/3 = 104 hours
