Answer 1

the answer is c for Friday and 6 3/12 hours for them both combined

Explanation:

because 3 5/12 is closest to 3 1/2=3 6/12

for fir day and Saturday day combined it would be 6 3/12

because 5/6 is 10/12 and 5/12 + 10/12 is 15/12 which is also 1 3/12

so add 3 +2=5 and then add the fraction 1 3/12 which would be 6 3/12 hours
