Question

You worked 16 3/4 hours in the past two days and plan to work 12 3/4 hours in the next two days. How many hours will you total on your time sheet for these 4 days?.

Answer 1

`29(1)/(2)` hours

Explanation:

You worked
`16(3)/(4)` hours in past two days and plan to work
`12(3)/(4)` hours in next two days.

So total work done in 4 days will be

= (
`16(3)/(4)` +
`12(3)/(4)` ) hours

Now we will simplify the fractions.

Total hours =
`[((16*4)+3)/(4)+((12*4)+3)/(4)]`

=
`((64+3))/(4)+((48+3))/(4)`

=
`(67)/(4)` +
`(51)/(4)`

=
`(67+51)/(4)`

=
`(118)/(4)`

=
`(59)/(2)`

=
`29(1)/(2)` hours

You would work
`29(1)/(2)` hours for these 4 days
