Question

The Cocozzelli family drove their car for five and five-sixths days to reach their vacation home, and then drove for six and one-sixth days to return home. How much longer did it take them to drive home?

Answer 1

2/6 (two sixth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Days it took them to reach the vacation home = five and five-sixths days

In fraction = 5 5/6

In fraction = 35/6

Number of days to return home = six and one-sixth days to return home

In fraction = 6 1/6

In fraction = 37/6

Time it took to drive home = days it took to return home - days it took to get to vacation home

`\begin{gathered} (37)/(6)-(35)/(6) \\ \end{gathered}`
`\text{Time it took to drive home= }(2)/(6)`

In simplest form: 1/3

It took the Cocozzelli family one third of a day or two-sixth of a day to get home
