Answer:
it took Goran 1 hour longer to clean the bathroom than it took him to clean the den.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
To convert 3 1/2 hours to an improper fraction:
3 1/2 = 7/2
So, Goran took a total of:
1/8 + 7/2 = 8/8 + 28/8 = 36/8 = 4 1/2 hours
Thus, it took Goran:
4 1/2 - 3 1/2 = 1 hour longer to clean the bathroom.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the problem, we first need to convert the mixed number 3 1/2 to an improper fraction. We can do this by multiplying the whole number (3) by the denominator of the fraction (2) and adding the numerator (1):
3 x 2 + 1 = 7
So, 3 1/2 is equal to 7/2.
Next, we can add the time it took Goran to clean the den (1/8 hours) to the time it took him to clean the bathroom (7/2 hours):
1/8 + 7/2 = 8/8 + 28/8 = 36/8 = 4 1/2 hours
Therefore, it took Goran a total of 4 1/2 hours to clean both the den and the bathroom.
To find out how much longer it took Goran to clean the bathroom, we can subtract the time it took him to clean the den (1/8 hours) from the time it took him to clean both the den and the bathroom (4 1/2 hours):
4 1/2 - 3 1/2 = 1 hour
Therefore, it took Goran 1 hour longer to clean the bathroom than it took him to clean the den.
