First lets convert 3 1/3 into the improper fraction: 10/3

Then lets divide 10/3 by 4 which is equal to 10/3 * 1/4
which is equal to 5/6 hours per day!

4 days
donvert 3 and 1/3 to imporopoer
3 and 1/3=3+1/3=9/3+1/3=10/3

divide 10/3 by 4
remember that divide by 4 means multiply by 1/4
10/3 times 1/4=10/12=5/6

each day spends 5/6 hour (about 50 mins)
