Markuo spent 5 days on vacation. He spent 5 twelfths of one day swimming and 1 half of another day hiking. The rest he spent on a boat. How much of Markuo's vacation was on a boat?​



Answer :

Answer: 4 1/12 days (49/12)

Step-by-step explanation:

5 Days

Day 1 - 5/12 is swimming, meaning the rest of the day (7/12) was on the boat

Day 2 - 1/2 is hiking, meaning the rest of the day (1/2) was on the boat.

Day 3, 4, and 5 - All on Boat

3 Full days + 7/12 of a day (from day 1) + 1/2 of a day (from day 2)

Find the common denominator, in this case, 12 works

36/12 days + 7/12 days + 6/12 days = 49/12 days

Markuo spent 49/12 days of his vacation on a boat.
