Question

a student spent 3/4 of an hour reading an article and 2 1/6 hours writing an essay about what he read. how much time did the student spend on the assignment?

Answer 1

So, we need to add 3/4 + 2 1/6.

First, let's find a common denominator.

12 is one.

4 x 3 = 12 3 x 3 = 9 6 x 2 = 12 1 x 2 = 2 2/12 & 9/12 = 11/12

2 + 0 = 2. 2 + 11/12 = 2 11/12.

2 11/12 is your answer.
