Question

How much time does the company plan to spend on research?

Answer 1

The time budget for the project is 5 1/3 hours.

If the research time is 1/4 of the complete hours, we can calculate the time by multiplying the total time by 1/4.

Therefore, we have:

`(1)/(4)*5(1)/(3)`

We need to change all the numbers to improper fractions before we can multiply:

`5(1)/(3)=(16)/(3)`

Therefore, we can multiply to be:

`\Rightarrow(1)/(4)*(16)/(3)=(4)/(3)`

As a mixed number, the hours will thus be:

`\Rightarrow1(1)/(3)\text{ hours}`

Hence, the correct option is the LAST OPTION.
