Math need ann finished a paper in \frac{1}{3} hours. then completed it in \frac{1}{2} hours. what was the total amount of time ann spent doing these two papers

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.


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).
