you would have to do 7 times three because if 7 hours was 1/3 you need to get to 3/3. so do 7 times 3. get 21 and thats your answer. 21 hours. sorry my cats laying on my laptop so my bad if there is spelling problems. and sorry if theres no caps

Answer: 21 hours.


Explanation:

Given: Harry worked 7 hours last week.

Let the working hours of Aidan be 'x'.

According to the question

Working hours of harry=
(1)/(3) of working hours of Aidan


\Rightarrow7=(1)/(3)*\ x\\\Rightarrow\ x=7*3\\\Rightarrow\ x=21\ hours

Therefore, Aidan worked for 21 hours.
