Instead of 2/3 of an hour, Jim actually spent 1 1/3 hours with each client. How much more time did he spend meeting all the clients than he originally planned?

Question
Answer:
To find out how much more time Jim spent meeting all the clients than he originally planned, we can calculate the difference between the actual time he spent and the planned time for each client and then sum those differences. Originally, Jim planned to spend $$\(2/3\)$$ of an hour with each client. However, he actually spent $$ 1\frac{1}{3} $$ hours with each client. Now, let's calculate the difference for each client: Difference for each client = Actual time - Planned time For each client: $$ Difference=1\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{3}\:hours $$$$ \left(1\frac{1}{3}=\frac{4}{3}\right) $$ so, $$Difference = \(\frac{4}{3}\) hours - \(\frac{2}{3}\) hours$$ Now, subtract the planned time from the actual time for each client: $$Difference = \(\frac{4}{3} - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2}{3}\) hours$$ So, Jim spent an extra $$\(\frac{2}{3}\)$$ of an hour with each client compared to his original plan.
