    Answer: 2 19/24 hours was spent in practising.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    During the first hour, they practiced for 5/8 of an hour. During the second hour, they practiced for 2/3 of an hour. This means that the total time for which they practiced in the first 2 hours would be

    5/8 + 2/3 = 31/24 hours

    During the last two hours, they first practiced for 3/5 of an hour, took a 1/2 hour break and then practiced the rest of the time. This means that the rest of the time for which they practiced is

    2 - (3/5 + 1/2) = 2 - 11/10 = 9/10

    Therefore, the time they spent practicing in total would be

    31/24 + 3/5 + 9/10 = 67/24 =

    2 19/24 hours
