Question

Larry studied 2 1/4 hours Monday. He studied 2 5/6 hours Tuesday. Write an addition sentence to show how many hours he spent studying Monday and Tuesday.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\[5\frac{1}{12}\]$

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of hours studied by Larry on Monday = $\[2\frac{1}{4}\]$

Number of hours studied by Larry on Tuesday = $\[2\frac{5}{6}\]$

Total number of hours studied by Larry on Monday and Tuesday = $\[2\frac{1}{4}+2\frac{5}{6}\]$

= $\[\frac{9}{4}+\frac{17}{6}\]$

= $\[\frac{27}{12}+\frac{34}{12}\]$

= $\[\frac{61}{12}\]$

= $\[5\frac{1}{12}\]$
