Tara has softball practice Tuesday,Wednesday Thursday and Sunday Each practice Is 1 /1 3 hours. Tara says she will have practice for 3 hours this week.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Without multiplying, explain how you know Tara is incorrect.

How long will Tara have softball practice this week? Write your answer as a mixed number.

Each practice is
`1(1)/(3)` hours

Each practice is more than 1 hour. so 4 days of practice is more than 4 hours.

So Tara is incorrect

Practice for 4 days

`1(1)/(3)+1(1)/(3)+1(1)/(3)+1(1)/(3)=4(4)/(3)=5(1)/(3)`

More than 5 hours .

Tara will have
`5(1)/(3)` softball practice this week

Answer:

Tara will have
`5(1)/(3)` hours softball practice this week

Answer 2

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

For the first part

Tara is incorrect as she practices the softball in 4 days in a week and she do each practice of minimum one hour

So we can conclude that she practices minimum hours in a week

For the second part

Also in 4 days, she does practice
`1 (1)/(3)` hours per day i.e
`5 (1)/(3)`

Now convert
`1 (1)/(3)` this into a fraction which comes
`(4)/(3)`

For four days, it is

=
`4 * (4)/(3) \\\\ (16)/(3) \\\\ 5 (1)/(3)`
