hours to clean the bedroom. He took1/2

Write your answer as a mixed number in simplest form.

Answer 1

3/4 more hours

Explanation:

Hours taken to clean bedroom = 5/4

Hours taken to clean den = 1/2

How much more = 5/4 - 1/2

5-2/4 (common denominator)

3/4 more hours (It's a propper fraction, so we can't write it as a mixed number)
