Hi There :)
Let's first determine each of the fractions of the times before adding them
1/4 of 60 is 15 1/3 of 60 is 20 1/2 of 60 is 30
So, let's add up all the times
On Monday, he practiced for 3/4 of an hour, which would equal 45 minutes On Tuesday, he practiced for 1/2 an hour, which equals 30 minutes On Wednesday, he practiced for 1 hour, which equals 60 minutes On Thursday, he practiced for 1/4 of an hour, which equals 15 minutes On Friday, he practiced for 1/3 of an hour, which equals 20 minutes
