Answer:

Tina worked [tex]3 \frac{5}{6}[/tex] hours on Friday.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for how many hours Tina worked on Friday you have to add up all the hours worked then subtract that from 15 hours to get the remainder.

Step 1 : Add up all the hours worked so far.

[tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] + 4 + [tex]2\frac{1}{6}[/tex]  + [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = ?

We need to turn these mixed numbers into improper fractions first so we can add. Let's turn them all into sixths.

[tex]3 \frac{3}{6}[/tex] + 4 + [tex]2\frac{1}{6}[/tex] + [tex]1 \frac{3}{6}[/tex] = [tex]11\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Allright, so now we know that Tina already worked 11 and 1/6 hours already, so we subtract that from 15 to find how many hours she worked on Friday.

Step 2 : Subtract [tex]11\frac{1}{6}[/tex] from 15.

15 - [tex]11\frac{1}{6}[/tex] = [tex]3 \frac{5}{6}[/tex]

Therefore Tina worked [tex]3 \frac{5}{6}[/tex] hours on Friday.
