Question

Sloane needs 3/4 hour to drive to her grandmother's house. It takes her 5 times as long to drive to her cousin's house. How

long does it take to drive to her cousin's house?

Answer 1

3 hours 45 mins

Explanation:

First of all convert the 3/4 of an hour into minutes.

This gives you 45 minutes.

Now turn that 45 minutes into a decimal of an hour.

This makes it 0.75.

Now multiply 0.75 by 5.

This gives you 3.75.

Now turn 3.75 into hours and minutes.

This gives you 3 hours and 45 minutes.
