Abbey spent 1 5/6 hours mowing the lawn, 3/4 hour trimming the hedge, and 2 2/3 hours weeding the garden. How many hours in all did Abbey spend doing yard work?

The answer to your question is: 4 7/12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

1 5/6 mowing the lawn

3/4 trimming the hedge

2 2/3 weeding the garden

Process

Convert mixed fractions to improper fractions

1 5/6 = (6 + 5) / 6 = 11 / 6

2 2/3 = (6 + 2) / 3 = 8 / 3

Sum the fractions

11/6 + 8/3 + 3/4 = (22 + 24 + 9) / 12

= 55 / 12

= 4 7/12 hours
