D. 104



Answer :

To determine how many hours Yolanda spends playing soccer in a year, let's proceed step-by-step:

1. Determine monthly hours:
Yolanda spends [tex]$\frac{82}{3}$[/tex] hours per month playing soccer. This fraction simplifies to approximately 27.33 hours per month.

2. Calculate yearly hours:
There are 12 months in a year. To find the yearly total, we multiply the monthly hours by the number of months in a year:
[tex]\[ \text{Yearly hours} = \left(\frac{82}{3} \text{ hours/month}\right) \times 12 \text{ months/year} \][/tex]
Simplifying the multiplication:
[tex]\[ 27.33 \times 12 = 328 \text{ hours/year} \][/tex]

3. Compare with the given options:
The options provided are:
- A. 197
- B. 416
- C. 28
- D. 104

After comparing 328 hours with the provided options, the closest answer is:

Therefore, the best answer is none of the given options exactly matches 328, but considering probable oversights, option B. 416 is somewhat near but still incorrect.

Thus, we conclude that typically, none of the provided options is a good match for 328.
