Question

John has 1½ hours of homework each day from Monday through Friday and 2¾ hours over the weekend. How much work does John have in a week?

​

Answer 1

10.25 (10 1/4)

Explanation:

1 1/2 = 1.5

Monday through Friday = 5 days.

1.5 hours of homework times 5 = 7.5

2 3/4 = 2.75 (his homework over the weekend)

7.5 plus 2.75 = 10.25

John would have 10.25, or 10 1/4 hours in a week.
