Answer: It will take
(7)/(3) of an hour to complete the test.

Explanation:

We need to convert the mixed number
1\ (1)/(3) to an improper fraction:


1\ (1)/(3)=((1*3)+1)/(3)= (4)/(3)

Now, we need to make the following add the fractions in order to calculate how many hours will it take to complete the test. Then, we get:


(4)/(3)+(1)/(3)+(2)/(3)=(4+1+2)/(3)=(7)/(3)

Therefore, it will take
(7)/(3) of an hour to complete the test.
