Answer:

$3(3)/(7)\text{ hours}$

Explanation:

Given,

The south side band can march
1(3)/(4) miles per hour,

That is, the speed of the band =
1(3)/(4) miles per hour,

The distance of route = 6 miles,

So, the time taken by band to parade in a route =
$\frac{\text{The distance of route}}{\text{speed of band}}$

=(6)/(1(3)/(4))

=(6)/((7)/(4))

=(24)/(7)

$=3(3)/(7)\text{ hours}$

First option is correct.
