I would make both denominators the same, and the lowest one that works is 18. So I'd make 1/9 into 2/18, and 1/6 into 3/18. They already used these times so combine them to make 5/18 then subtract that from the total time they had (18/18) and you would get 13/18 they spent playing music.
When 1250^3/4 is written in simplest radical form the vale 2 remains under the radical
The answer is 4 because anything times 0 is 0 and and 2x2 is 4
