Let's make these two fractions have a common denominator and an improper fraction:
1 1/8 = 9/8 = 63/56
2 3/7 = 17/7 = 136/56
63/56 + 136/56 = 199/56 = 3 31/56
So in total, he practiced 3 31/56 hours this week.
He practiced 1 17/56 hours longer on Tuesday than Monday.
Answer: Jim practice for 1 17/56 hours on Tuesday more than on monday
Step-by-step explanation:
This week, Jim practiced the piano 1 1/8 hours on Monday. Converting 1 1/8 hours to improper fraction, it becomes 9/8 hours.
He practiced for 2 3/7 hours on Tuesday. Converting 2 3/7 hours to improper fraction, it becomes 17/7 hours. The difference between the number of hours for which he practiced on both days is
17/7 - 9/8 = 73/56 hours
Converting 73/56 hours to mixed fraction, it becomes 1 17/56 hours
