Stacy is building a candy house. She worked on it 3 2/3 hours before lunch and 6 1/4 hours after lunch. How many total hours did Stacy spend working on the candy house?

Respuesta :

To calculate the total nmber of hours, we will simply add

[tex]3\frac{2}{3}+6\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Let's add the whole number part, then add the fraction part

That is;

[tex]3+6+\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{4}[/tex][tex]=9+\frac{8+3}{12}[/tex][tex]=9\frac{11}{12}\text{ hours}[/tex]

The above is the total number of hour she spent.
