Question

Ralph spends 15 1/3 hours per month playing tennis. How many hours does he play tennis in a year? (There are twelve months in a year.)
A. 164
B. 182 2/3
C. 184
D. 164 1/3

Answer 1

C) 184. Because there are 12 months in a year so all you have to do is multiply 15 1/3*12. But before you multiply change 15 1/3 into an improper fraction so its 46/3 x 12. Once you multiply it you should get 184.

Answer 2

The only step that needs to be completed is multiplication, 

15 1/3 x 12 = 184 

1/3 x 12 is the same as dividing 12 by 3 so it gives you an answer of 4. 

which makes the total number of hours played 184
