Question

Diana went fishing for 3 7/12 hours on Friday. She fished for 2 5/6 hours on Saturday. Estimate how long Diana went fishing on Friday and Saturday combined

Answer 1

T = 6.41 hours

Explanation:

Fishing for Friday = 3 7/12 hours

Fishing for Saturday =2 5/6 hours

We need to find for how long Diana went fishing on Friday and Saturday combined. It means we need to add the time for Friday and Saturday. So,

`T=3(7)/(12)+2(5)/(6)\\\\=(3(12)+7)/(12)+(2(6)+5)/(6)\\\\=(43)/(12)+(17)/(6)\\\\=6.41\ \text{hours}`

So, the combined timing is 6.41 hours.
