Question

Clara and even volunteer at an animal shelter a total of 956 hours letter word for 4 1/3 hours how many hours did even work

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the hours Clara worked and the hours Erin worked is 9 5/6 and we know that Clara worked 4 1/3 hours. We can find out how many hours Erin worked by substracting the hours worked by Clara from the total number of hours:

`9(5)/(6)-4(1)/(3)`

To substract mixed numbers first we have to substract the whole part and then the fraction part:

`(9-4)((5)/(6)-(1)/(3))=5((5-2)/(6))=5(3)/(6)`

And finally we can simplify the fraction part of the result:

`5(3)/(6)=5(1)/(2)`

Answer:

Erin worked 5 1/2 hours
