30 POINTS ANSWER QUICK!!!!

Bryson is picking green beans. He has already picked 1 and one-fourth bushels and picks at a rate of StartFraction 7 Over 8 EndFraction of a bushel each hour. The equation StartFraction 7 Over 8 EndFraction h + 1 and one-fourth = 6 can be used to represent h, the number of hours it will take him to pick 6 bushels. What is the value of h?


4 and StartFraction 5 Over 32 EndFraction hours

5 and StartFraction 3 Over 7 EndFraction hours

5 and StartFraction 17 Over 28 EndFraction hours

8 and StartFraction 2 Over 7 EndFraction hours

Answer 1

The value of h is B 5 3/7 hours

Explanation:

7/8h + 1 1/4 =6 7/8h =4 3/4 h = 4 3/4 / 7/8 = 5 3/7 hours

Answer 2

5 3/7 hours

Explanation:

`(7)/(8)h + 1(1)/(4)=6\\\\(7)/(8)h+(5)/(4)=6\\\\(7)/(8)h=6-(5)/(4)\\\\(7)/(8)h=(6*4)/(1*4)-(5)/(4)\\\\(7)/(8)h=(24)/(4)-(5)/(4)\\\\(7)/(8)h=(19)/(4)\\\\h=(19)/(4)*(8)/(7)\\\\h=(19*2)/(7)\\\\h=(38)/(7)\\\\h=5(3)/(7)`
