Question

5. Lydia worked on science homework for of an hour before school, and 4 of an hour after school. Write and solve an equation to find how long Lydia spent doing science homework.

Answer 1

we are given that Lydia studied 3/4 of an hour and then 1/4 of an hour. To determine the total number of time that he spent studying we need to add both decimals, like this:

`n=(3)/(4)+(1)/(4)`

Where "n" is the total time.

Adding both decimals together:

`n=(3+1)/(4)=(4)/(4)=1`

Therefore, Lydia spent 1 hour.
