Answer: 2.3

Explanation:

Janet can make 3/4 of a necklace in 10 minutes.

We need to find how many necklaces she can make in 1 hour.

1 hour = 60 minutes

We can rewrite it as:

1 hour = 3*(20 minutes)

So Janet can create three 3/4 necklaces in 1 hour

Therefore, the total necklaces Janet can make in 1 hour = 3*(3/4) = 9/4 = 2.25

To the nearest tenth of a necklace = 2.3 necklaces
