To find the total hours that William practiced, we need to add up the hours he practiced on Monday and Tuesday.

On Monday, he practiced 1 1/3 hours.
On Tuesday, he practiced 5/6 hour.

To add these two fractions, we need to convert them to have the same denominator. The least common denominator for 3 and 6 is 6.

1 1/3 written as a fraction with a denominator of 6 is 2/6.
5/6 remains the same.

Now, let's add the fractions:
2/6 + 5/6 = 7/6

Since 7/6 is an improper fraction, we need to convert it to a mixed number by dividing the numerator (7) by the denominator (6):
7 รท 6 = 1 remainder 1
So, the mixed number is 1 1/6.

Therefore, the total hours William practiced is 1 1/6 hours.

Among the answer choices provided:
A) 1 1/2 is less than 1 1/6
B) 1 2/3 is greater than 1 1/6
C) 2 1/3 is greater than 1 1/6
D) 2 1/6 is equal to 1 1/6

Therefore, the correct answer is option D) 2 1/6.
