The question is asking us to calculate approximately how many hours does Yolanda play soccer in a year. We know that she plays soccer 8 2/3 hours a month. In a year there are 12 months. So we have to multiply 8 2/3 by 12. We can multiply separately 8 and 2/3 by 12 and then add those products. 8 * 12 = 96. 2/3 * 12 = 24/3 = 8, Finally: 96 + 8 = 104. Answer: B ) 104 hours a year
