A machine weaves 2 2/3 meters of fabric in the first hour of operation. All the rest of the time the machine runs, it weaves 3 2/3 meters per hour. If the machine is turned on and allowed to run for 25 hours, how many meters of fabric will it weave?
------------------------
2 2/3 + 24(3 2/3)
= (8/3) + 24(11/3) = 90 2/3 meters
