c. 416
d. 197

Answer 1

Question 1. (10 x 12 + 5)/12 = 125/12 - Answer is D. 125/12

Answer 2

For the first one, the fraction can be written as an improper fraction (D) 125/12. To form improper fractions, you multiply 10 by 12 (10*12) and add the numerator (5) and put it over your original denominator so 125/12.

For the second one, we will first change it into an improper fraction so (26/3). And since that is the number of hours spent playing soccer in one month, for the full year we will multiply it by 12. So the answer is (B) 104.
