Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Trevor plays basketball with friends for 2/3 hour and that he and his friends climb trees for 1/2 hour.

The expression cmthat can be used to find the total amount of time Trevor spends playing basketball and climbing trees will be:

= 2/3 + 1/2

= 7/6

= 1 1/6 hours or 1 hour 10 minutes
