Question

Naysha listens to the radio for 5/6 of an hour each day. Which expressions represent the time Naysha spends listening to the radio in a 7-day period?

Answer 1

To find the total time Naysha spends listening to the radio in a 7-day period, we can multiply the daily listening time by the number of days.

Naysha listens to the radio for \( \frac{5}{6} \) of an hour each day. Over 7 days, the total time spent can be represented by the expression:

\[
7 \times \frac{5}{6}
\]

This can also be expressed as:

\[
\frac{5}{6} \times 7
\]

Both of these expressions calculate the total hours Naysha spends listening to the radio over the course of a week.

If you want to find the total time in hours, you can simplify:

\[
7 \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{7 \times 5}{6} = \frac{35}{6} \text{ hours}
\]

Thus, Naysha spends \( \frac{35}{6} \) hours listening to the radio in a 7-day period.
