a student spent 3/4 of an hour reading an article and 2 1/6 hours writing an essay about what he read. how much time did the student spend on the assignment?

Respuesta :

2 11/12 hours that is what it is 
So, we need to add 3/4 + 2 1/6.

First, let's find a common denominator.

12 is one.

4 x 3 = 12  3 x 3 = 9        6 x 2 = 12   1 x 2 = 2     2/12 & 9/12 = 11/12

2 + 0 = 2.  2 + 11/12 = 2 11/12.

2 11/12 is your answer.

Glad I could help, and good luck!
