Ira has been exercising regularly at the gym on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. She spent 1 1/3 hr, 8/9hr, 1 1/9, and 8/6 hr at the gym. On Sunday, she went for an outdoor run for 5/6 hr

How many hours did Ira spend exercising this week? Give your answer in its simplest form.
 
Monday: [math]1 ~ 1/3 = 1 + \dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{3}{3} + \dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{3 + 1}{3} = \dfrac{4}{3}[/math].

Can you get the times for the rest of the days?

the rest of the times are there
Tuesday - 8/9
Thursday - 1 1/9
Friday - 8/6

Sunday Outdoor run - 5/6
 
I know that Thursday is 1 1/9. What is it as a fraction?

-Dan

Addendum: I suppose you could look at it a bit differently. I've been trying to have you work out each time as a fraction, improper or otherwise, but I suppose you might want to give the answer as a whole number plus a fraction. In that case, then, can you add
[math]1 + \dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{8}{9} + 1 + \dfrac{1}{9} + 1 + \dfrac{2}{6}[/math]?
 
[math]1 + \dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{8}{9} + 1 + \dfrac{1}{9} + 1 + \dfrac{2}{6}[/math]?

...don't forget about the Sunday run ?

[math]1 + \dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{8}{9} + 1 + \dfrac{1}{9} + 1 + \dfrac{2}{6}+ \dfrac{5}{6}[/math]
[math]=1+ 1+ 1 + \dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{8}{9} + \dfrac{1}{9} + \dfrac{2}{6}+ \dfrac{5}{6}[/math]
@Sam96 have you learned how to add fractions that have different denominators?
