Question

you worked 6 3/4 hours on Monday 7 1/4 on Tuesday 8 1/4 on Wednesday 7 1/4 on Thursday and 7 3/4 on Friday how many hours did you work for this week

Answer 1

Answer:

37 1/4 (answer)

Step-by-step explanation:

One way of approaching this problem would be to rewrite each proper fraction as a decimal fraction:

6.75

+7.25

+8.25

+7.25

+7.75

-----------

This comes out to 14 + 15.5 + 7.75, or

                               29.5 + 7.75, or

                               36.0 + 1.25, or 37.25.  This is the same as 37 1/4 (answer)
