Question

stacy studies math for \\(\frac{2}{6}\\) of an hour per day and science for \\(\frac{3}{6}\\) of an hour per day. how many total hours does she study in 5 days? \\(\bigcirc\\) a. \\(\frac{5}{6}\\) of an hour \\(\bigcirc\\) b. \\(\frac{5}{30}\\) of an hour \\(\bigcirc\\) c. \\(\frac{10}{6}\\) hours \\(\bigcirc\\) d. \\(\frac{25}{6}\\) hours \\(\bigcirc\\) e. \\(\frac{35}{6}\\) hours

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate daily study time

First, find the total hours Stacy studies per day by adding the time for math and science. The time for math is $\frac{2}{6}$ hour and for science is $\frac{3}{6}$ hour. So, daily study time = $\frac{2}{6}+\frac{3}{6}=\frac{2 + 3}{6}=\frac{5}{6}$ hours per day.

Step2: Calculate total study time for 5 days

Now, to find the total hours in 5 days, multiply the daily study time by 5. So, total hours = $5\times\frac{5}{6}=\frac{25}{6}$ hours.

Answer:

D. $\frac{25}{6}$ hours
