Answer 2

Fraction of her free time did she spend on these two activities is
`(7)/(12)`

Explanation:

Given : Lily spent
`(1)/(6)` of her free time practicing soccer and
`(5)/(12)` of her free time playing a video game.

To find : What fraction of her free time did she spend on these two activities?

Solution :

For first activity i.e. practicing soccer Lily spent
`(1)/(6)` of her free time.

For second activity i.e. playing a video game Lily spent
`(5)/(12)` of her free time.

Total free time did she spend on these two activities is

`t=(1)/(6)+(5)/(12)`

`t=(2+5)/(12)`

`t=(7)/(12)`

Therefore, Fraction of her free time did she spend on these two activities is
`(7)/(12)`
