a student spent 2/7 of an hour each evening reading a book about sailing if it took the student nine evenings to finish the book how many hours in all did the students spend reading 2 4/9 3 4/7 2 4/7


If a student spent 2/7 of an hour each night reading a book, then
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{7}\text{ of an hour}\Rightarrow\text{ in one night} \\ 9\cdot\frac{2}{7}\Rightarrow\text{ in nine nights} \end{gathered}[/tex]So, operating and converting the fraction from improper to mixed
[tex]9\cdot\frac{2}{7}=\frac{18}{7}=2\frac{4}{7}[/tex]Therefore, the correct answer is
[tex]C.\text{ 2}\frac{4}{7}[/tex]
