Question

Stacy studies math for 2/6 of an hour per day and science for 3/6 of an hour per day
How many total hours does she study in 5 days
A. 5/6 of an hour
B. 5/30 of an hour
C. 10/6 hours
D. 25/6 hours
E. 35/6

Answer 1

To find out how many total hours Stacy studies in 5 days, we first need to calculate her daily study time for both subjects.

1. **Daily study time:**
- Math: \( \frac{2}{6} \) hour
- Science: \( \frac{3}{6} \) hour

To get the total daily study time, we add the two times together:

\[
\text{Total daily study time} = \frac{2}{6} + \frac{3}{6} = \frac{5}{6} \text{ hours}
\]

2. **Total study time for 5 days:**
Now, we multiply the daily study time by the number of days (5):

\[
\text{Total study time for 5 days} = 5 \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{25}{6} \text{ hours}
\]

Therefore, the total hours she studies in 5 days is \( \frac{25}{6} \) hours.

The correct answer is **D. \( \frac{25}{6} \) hours.**
