Answer :
Allie swam for approximately 4 hours in Week 1 and 3 hours in Week 2 after rounding to the nearest whole number, making a total of 7 hours over the two weeks.
The question involves calculating the total number of hours Allie swam over two weeks, by rounding the given mixed numbers to the nearest whole number before adding them together. For Week 1, 4 1/3 hours is closest to 4 hours when rounded. For Week 2, 2 5/6 hours is closest to 3 hours when rounded.
After rounding to the nearest whole number, we add the hours together:
- Week 1: 4 hours
- Week 2: 3 hours
To find the total number of hours Allie swam in two weeks, we calculate:
4 hours (Week 1) + 3 hours (Week 2) = 7 hours
Therefore, Allie swam for approximately 7 hours in total over the two weeks.
