Question

Moira swims 3/6 hour before school 5 days a week and 5/6 hour after school 4 days a week. For how long does she swim each week?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

5 5/6 hours

Explanation:

We can add the times, but it is more convenient to use multiplication.

5(3/6) + 4(5/6) = (15/6) +(20/6) = 35/6 = 5 5/6

Moira swims 5 5/6 hours each week.
