Respuesta :

it is given that,

student exercise 3 hours at school,.

and 2/3 hours at home,

let he do exercise for total 'x' hours,

also,

1/4 of the student's total exercise came from playing soccer

so, exercise came from soccer is , x/4

now sum the hours,

3 + 2/3 + x/4 = x

11/3 = x - x/4

3x/4 = 11/3

[tex]x=\frac{11\times4}{3\times3}[/tex]

x = 44/9 hours,

so, the time spend on soccer is,

x/4 =

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{\frac{44}{9}}{4} \\ =\frac{44}{36} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]=\frac{11}{9}[/tex]

thus, the answer is
