Complete question :

Tony worked 4 2/3 hours on his science project. Sonia worked 1 1/4 times as long on her science project as Tony did. For how many hours did Sonia work on her science project?

Answer:

5 5/6 hours

Explanation:

Given that :

Hours worked by Tony = 4 2/3

Hours worked by Sonia = 1 1/4 times as long as Tony

Hence, hours worked by Sonia = 1 1/4 * 4 2/3

5/4 * 14/3

= 70 / 12

= 5 10/12

= 5 5/6 hours
