Answer:
\(\frac{5}{12}\) fraction of the day was Priya lost
Step-by-step explanation:
As per the statement:
Priya spent 1/2 of the day hiking.
⇒She spent for hiking = 1/2 of the day.
It is also given that:
She was lost 5/6 of the time that she was hiking.
⇒\(\text{She lost} = \frac{5}{6} \times \text{She was hiking}\)
Substitute the given values we have;
\(\text{She lost} = \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{12}\) of the day
therefore, \(\frac{5}{12}\) fraction of the day was Priya lost
