Answer 1

Buffy spent 9/14 hours cutting her rabbit's toenails.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many hours Buffy spent cutting her rabbit's toenails, we first need to find the total number of hours she spent caring for her pets. Buffy spent 1 1/2 hours, which can be written as 3/2 hours. Now, we need to find how many hours she spent cutting her rabbit's toenails. Buffy spent 3/7 of her total time cutting the rabbit's toenails. To find the number of hours, we multiply 3/2 hours by 3/7: (3/2) * (3/7) = 9/14 hours. Therefore, Buffy spent 9/14 hours cutting her rabbit's toenails.
