Question

On Wednesday, Abby and Lauren could not practice together, so they practiced separately. Abby practiced for 11/12 of an hour and Lauren practiced for 2/3 of an hour. How long did they practice in Wednesday?

Answer 1

Add the fractions:

$\frac{11}{12} + \frac{2}{3}$

make the denominators the same by multiplying 2/3 by 4

$\frac{11}{12} + \frac{8}{12}$

Now you can add them together and get

$\frac{11}{12} + \frac{8}{12} = \frac{19}{12}$ = $1 \frac{7}{12}$
