Answer:

I will work for [tex]8\frac{4}{5}[/tex] hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total working period = time to prepare arena + time spent in ticket office + Time spent in gig

= [tex]2\frac{1}{4}+2\frac{1}{2}+3\frac{3}{5}[/tex] hours

= [tex]\frac{9}{2}+\frac{5}{2}+\frac{18}{5}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{45+25+18}{10}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{88}{10}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{44}{5}[/tex] [division by 2 to denominator and numerator both]

= [tex]8\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

I will work for [tex]8\frac{4}{5}[/tex] hours.
