Alana practiced dancing for 11/4 hours on Monday 19/8 hours on Wednesday and 2 3/5 hours on Friday. On which day did she practice on the closest to 2 hours? Explain your reasoning/
Im not sure for this one
Answered by Ms. Sue
11/4 = 2 3/4 = 2 30/40
19/8 = 2 3/8 = 2 15/40
2 3/5 = 2 24/40


Answered by Jerald
For 2 3/5 how did you get the answer 2 24/40 since it already has the whole number on 2 3/5. Do you put the whole number when you divide?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes. I changed 3/5 to 24/40 so the fractions would have a common denominator.

Answered by Jerald
So is the answer 11/4
Answered by Ms. Sue
No. Please reread the question.
