Question

Yolanda spends 8 2⁄3 hours per month playing soccer. Approximately how many hours does she play soccer in a year? (There are twelve months in a year.) 

    

Answer 1

Convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction:

$8 \times 3 = 24$
$24 + 2 = 26$

$8\frac{2}{3} = \frac{26}{3}$

Multiply the amount hours Yolanda plays per month by how many months there are in a year:

$\frac{26}{3} \times 12 = \frac{312}{3}$

Simplify the fraction:

$312 \div 3 = 104$

Yolanda spends 104 hours playing soccer in a year.

Answer 2

8.667 X 12 = 104(approximately)
because 2/3 =0.666666666666
