Answer 2

Concept:

Time, in fraction is to be added after being made into like fraction and that is the end result

Given:

The penguin nursery is open two times a day. 2/3 Hour at noon and 5/12 hour in the afternoon

Find:

We are required to find the time for which the nursery is open combining noon and afternoon

Solution:

By considering the given data,

time for which nursery is open at noon= 2/3

time for which nursery is open at afternoon = 5/12

therefore, total time for which nursery is open = 2/3+5/12

   = (2 x 4 +5 ) /12  = 13/12 hour

Hence the nursery is open for 13/12 hours
