Answer 2

Answer:

Fraction of her free time did she spend on these two activities is $\frac{7}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Lily spent $\frac{1}{6}$ of her free time practicing soccer and $\frac{5}{12}$ of her free time playing a video game.

To find : What fraction of her free time did she spend on these two activities?

Solution :

For first activity i.e. practicing soccer Lily spent $\frac{1}{6}$ of her free time.

For second activity i.e. playing a video game Lily spent $\frac{5}{12}$ of her free time.                                    

Total free time did she spend on these two activities is

$t=\frac{1}{6}+\frac{5}{12}$

$t=\frac{2+5}{12}$

$t=\frac{7}{12}$

Therefore, Fraction of her free time did she spend on these two activities is $\frac{7}{12}$
