Answer 1

You are looking for the TOTAL time, so you should add those two fractions.

Two methods that you can apply:
~First add the whole numbers. then add the fractions by finding the common denominator and adding the fractions together.
~Second, change them into improper fractions then add the fractions by finding the common denominator and adding the fractions together.
