Question

on Sunday Antonio spent a total of 3 1/4 hours driving and 1 3/4 hours gardening how much longer did he spend driving then garden

Answer 1

I find it easier to convert 1/4 into decimals so first turn 3/4 into 3.24 and 1 3/4 into 1.75
convert back into a decimal
and it is 1 1/2
so Antonio spent and hour and a half on driving hen gardening

Answer 2

Antonio spent 5 hours driving.

• Antonio spent 3 1/4 hours driving and 1 3/4 hours gardening.

Now, first we need to transform each mixed number into a fraction. Remember, to do such transformation, we multiply the whole part with the denominator and then sum the numerator.

`3(1)/(4)hr=(13)/(4)hr\\ 1(3)/(4)hr=(7)/(4)hr`

Then, we sum

`(13)/(4)+(7)/(4)=(13+7)/(4)=(20)/(4)=5hr`

Therefore, Antonio spent 5 hours driving.
