Question

danielle read $\frac{5}{6}$ hour each day for 5 days. select all the expressions that tell how long danielle read in all. use drawings or number lines as needed.$5 \times \frac{1}{6}$ hours$5 \times \frac{5}{6}$ hours$\frac{5}{30}$ hours$\frac{25}{6}$ hours$4\frac{1}{6}$ hours

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total reading time

Total time = daily time × days, so $\frac{5}{6} \times 5$

Step2: Compute the product

Multiply numerators: $5 \times 5 = 25$, so $\frac{25}{6}$ hours

Step3: Convert to mixed number

$\frac{25}{6} = 4 + \frac{1}{6} = 4\frac{1}{6}$ hours

Step4: Evaluate other options

• $5 \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{6}$ (matches 1 day, not total)
• $\frac{5}{30} = \frac{1}{6}$ (incorrect value)

Answer:

B. $5 \times \frac{5}{6}$ hours
D. $\frac{25}{6}$ hours
E. $4\frac{1}{6}$ hours
