Question

Michael has a set of 24 math problems to do for homework. Michael completed 1/4 of his homework in 3/4 of an hour. If he continues at this rate , what fraction of his homework would he complete in one hour ? A. 3/8 B. 2/3 C. 4/3 D. 3/2

Answer 1

Given:

Total number of problems = 24

Michael completed
`(1)/(4)` of his homework in
`(3)/(4)` of an hour.

To find:

What fraction of his homework would he complete in one hour.

Solution:

We have,

Part of work done in
`(3)/(4)` of an hour
`=(1)/(4)`

Part of work done in an hour
`=(4)/(3)* (1)/(4)`

`=(1)/(3)`

Therefore, he complete
`(1)/(3)` of his homework in 1 hour. Hence, all options are incorrect.
