Answer 2

2 hours and 40 minutes

Explanation:

we need to find how much time it takes to complete the race if in two hours holden completed 3/4, the information is this:

hours race

2 3/4

x 1

where x is the unknown hours that takes to complete 1 race.

Using rule of three:

we multiply the cross quantities (2 by 1) and then divide by 3/4:

`x=(2*1)/((3)/(4) ) =(4*2)/(3) =(8)/(3) =2.666 hours`

this is 2 hours plus 0.666 of hour.

0.666 of hour is equal to
`(2)/(3)` of hour, and since one hour has 60 minutes:

`60((2)/(3) )=40min`

the total time is 2 hours and 40 minutes.
