Jason was in the process of writing story for the school contest. So far he has completed 10 2/5 pages of this story. On Average, each page has taken him 1 3/4 hours to write. How much time has Jason already put into his story?

Hello! The answer is 18.2 hours! First put the fractions in decimal form. 10 2/5 (10.4). 1 3/4 (1.75). Next multiply the pages (10.4) by the hours per page (1.75) the answer should be 18.2. I hope this helped!
