Hi there! The answer is 5/6 hours (which is 50 minutes)

To find the total time Ann spent on her papers, we must add the fractions.
[tex] \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{6} + \frac{3}{6} = \frac{5}{6} [/tex]

In the first step, we had to make the denominators the same. We need to use the LCM of the numbers 2 and 3. LCM(2,3) = 6.

In the second step we added the fractions. Remember that we only need to add the numerators (the denominator remains the same).

~ Hope this helps you!

Hi there!

Total time spent by Ann on th' papers :-

[tex]\dfrac {1}{3}[/tex] + [tex]\dfrac {1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\dfrac {2 + 3}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\dfrac {5}{6}[/tex]

Hence,
Ann's total time spent = [tex]\dfrac {5}{6}[/tex] i.e. 50 minutes.

~ Hope it helps!
