Question

John spent 3 1/4 hours studying. Frank spent 4 7/8 hours studying. Frank spent how many times the amount of hours studying as John?

Answer 1

Answer:

Frank spent $\frac{3}{2}$ hours times for studying as John.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

John spent time in studying = $3\frac{1}{4}$ hours.

Frank spent time in studying = $4\frac{7}{8}$ hours.

To find:  Frank spent how many times the amount of hours studying as John?

So, Let the frank spent $x$ (in hours) times of hours studying as John.

According to Question,

time taken by Frank for studying = $x\times$ time taken by John for studying

                                                  $4\frac{7}{8}=x\times 3\frac{1}{4}$

                                                  $\frac{39}{8}=x\times \frac{13}{4}$

                                                   $x=\frac{\frac{39}{8} }{\frac{13}{4} }=\frac{39}{8} \times\frac{4}{13}$      

                                                   $x=\frac{3}{2}$ hours.

Therefore, Frank spent $\frac{3}{2}$ hours times for studying as John.
