Question

A boy plays football for 1 1/4 hours, listens to the radio for 3/4 hours and then spends 1 1/4 hours doing his homework . How much time does he spend altogether doing these things ​

Answer 1

3 1/4 hours

Explanation:

First, you'd add together 1 1/4 and 3/4 to get 2. Then, you would add 1 1/4 to that once more to get 3 1/4.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Ok:

1. First you need to add all the hours in order to get the sum of hours spent. We can write that as an addition problem

1 1/4+3/4+1 1/4

2. Just add since they have the same denominators, no simplifying needed!

1 1/4+1 1/4+ 3/4= 2 1/2+3/4= 2 2/4+3/4= 2 5/4= 3 1/4

3. Answer + hours

3 1/4 Hrs in total
