Answer: The expression 21/10 ÷ 2 4/5 represents the number of hours Jamar worked per shift in the community garden, given that he worked for a total of 21/10 hours over 2 4/5 shifts.
To simplify this expression, we need to convert the mixed number 2 4/5 to an improper fraction:
2 4/5 = (2 x 5 + 4)/5 = 14/5
Now we can rewrite the expression as:
21/10 ÷ 14/5
To divide fractions, we can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
21/10 x 5/14 = 3/4
Therefore, Jamar worked an average of 3/4 hours per shift in the community garden.
