Question

Suzy spent 6 7/8 days working on her English paper, 3 1/6 days doing her science project, and 1 1/2 days studying for her math test. How many days more did Suzy spend on her English paper and math test than on her science project?

Answer 1

$6 \frac{7}{8} + 1 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{55}{8} + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{55}{8} + \frac{12}{8} = \frac{67}{8} = 8 \frac{3}{8}$

Suzy spent $8 \frac{3}{8}$ more days on her English and Math test than on her Science project
