The Forest family watched television for a total of 9 1/3
hours during a one-week period. On average, what is the number of hours per day that the Forest family watched television?

1⅓ hours

Explanation:

Given

Time spent = 9⅓ hours

Period = 1 week

Required

Determine the average time

To get the average time spent, we simply divide the time spent by the period.

Average = Time spent ÷ Period

Average = 9⅓ hours ÷ 1 week

[Convert week to days]

Average = 9⅓ hours ÷ 7 days

[Convert mixed number to improper fraction]

Average = 28/3 ÷ 7

Average = 28/3 * ⅐

Average = 4/3

Average = 1⅓

Hence, the average time spent daily is 1⅓ hours
