The amount of time it took the carpenter to build a coffee table and a dresser than it does to build a bed is 0.125 hour.
In Mathematics and Geometry, an equation is a mathematical expression which shows that two or more thing are equal.
In order to determine the amount of time it took the carpenter to build a coffee table and a dresser than it does to build a bed, we would have to find the difference between times as follows;
Difference in time = Total time (coffee table and a dresser) - Total time (bed)
Difference in time = (6 3/8 + 9.5) - 15.75
Difference in time = 15.875 - 15.75
Difference in time = 0.125 hour.
