Question

Bradly can earn extra money by mowing lawns. His neighbors will pay him 3.00 for each lawn that takes him 3/4 of an hour. What is the amount of time in extra hours, that Bradley would have to spend mowing lawns to be able to buy a second $48 ticket for his brother.

Answer 1

Time for which Bradly has to mow lawns to get $48:

We know that Bradly earn $3 every 3/4 hours of mowing lawns

Time taken by Bradly to get $1:

time taken by Bradly to get $1 = time taken to get $3 / $3

time taken = (3/4) / 3

time taken = 1/4 hours / dollar

Time taken by Bradly to get $48:

Time taken to get $48 = time taken to get $1 * 48

Time taken to get $48 = 1/4 * 48

Time taken = 12 hours

Therefore, after 12 hours of Mowing lawns, Bradly will have $48
