Answer:

Fraction of her free time did she spend on these two activities is [tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Lily spent [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] of her free time practicing soccer and [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] of her free time playing a video game.

To find : What fraction of her free time did she spend on these two activities?

Solution :

For first activity i.e. practicing soccer Lily spent [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] of her free time.

For second activity i.e. playing a video game Lily spent [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] of her free time.                                    

Total free time did she spend on these two activities is

[tex]t=\frac{1}{6}+\frac{5}{12}[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{2+5}{12}[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{7}{12}[/tex]

Therefore, Fraction of her free time did she spend on these two activities is [tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex]
