Question

On Wednesday, Abby and Lauren could not practice together, so they practiced separately. Abby practiced for 11/12 of an hour and Lauren practiced for 2/3 of an hour. How long did they practice in Wednesday?

Answer 1

Add the fractions:


`(11)/(12) + (2)/(3)`

make the denominators the same by multiplying 2/3 by 4


`(11)/(12) + (8)/(12)`

Now you can add them together and get


`(11)/(12) + (8)/(12) = (19)/(12)` =
`1 (7)/(12)`
