Answer 1

To find the time Naysha spends listening to the radio over a 7-day period, we can multiply the daily time (5/6 hour) by the number of days (7 days).

Here are the expressions provided and their meanings:

1. **12/6** (This evaluates to 2, which does not represent the time spent over 7 days.)
2. **7×5/6** (This represents the total time: 7 times 5/6 = 35/6.)
3. **7+5/6** (This does not represent the total time but rather adds an extra 5/6 to 7.)
4. **35/6** (This is the total time spent listening to the radio over 7 days.)
5. **5/6+5/6+5/6+5/6+5/6+5/6+5/6** (This also is a correct representation as it adds up the time for each day over 7 days.)

The expressions that correctly represent the time Naysha spends listening to the radio in a 7-day period are:

- **7×5/6**
- **35/6**
- **5/6+5/6+5/6+5/6+5/6+5/6+5/6**

So, the correct three expressions are: **7×5/6**, **35/6**, and **5/6+5/6+5/6+5/6+5/6+5/6+5/6**.
