Question

Josh has a part-time job mowing yards. On average, it takes him 2.25 hours to mow one yard. If he completed 6 1/3 yards this weekend, how many hours did he spend mowing yards

Answer 1

14.25 hours

Explanation:

We know

2.25 hours = 1 yard

13.5 hours = 6 yards

1/3 yard = 2.25 / 3 = 0.75 hours

To find how long it takes him to complete 6 1/3 yards, we take

13.5 + 0.75 = 14.25 hours

So, he spent 14.25 hours mowing yards.
