On Monday, Philip walked for 1 2/3 hours, which can be written as 5/3 hours.
On Tuesday, Philip walked 5/6 hour longer than he did on Monday, so he walked for (5/3) + (5/6) hours.
Finding a common denominator for the fractions, (5/3) + (5/6) = (10/6) + (5/6) = 15/6.
Simplifying 15/6, we get 2 3/6, which can be further reduced to 2 1/2 hours.
Therefore, Philip walked for 2 1/2 hours on Tuesday.
On Tuesday Philip walked 5/6 hour longer than he did on Monday. On Monday he walked for 1 2/3 hours.
