Question

April worked 1 1/2 times as long on her math project as did Carl. Debbie worked 1 1/4 times as long as Sonia. Richard worked 1 3/8 times as long as tony. Match each students name to the number of hours he or she worked on the math project.

Answer 1

Answer:

        Student                                                            Hours worked

             April.                                                                  $7\frac{7}{8} \ hrs$

        Debbie.                                                                   $8\frac{1}{8}\ hrs$

        Richard.                                                                   $7\frac{19}{24}\ hrs$

Step-by-step explanation:

Some data's were missing so we have attached the complete information in the attachment.

Given:

Number of Hours Carl worked on Math project = $5\frac{1}{4}\ hrs$

$5\frac{1}{4}\ hrs$ can be Rewritten as $\frac{21}{4}\ hrs$

Number of Hours Carl worked on Math project = $\frac{21}{4}\ hrs$

Number of Hours Sonia worked on Math project = $6\frac{1}{2}\ hrs$

$6\frac{1}{2}\ hrs$ can be rewritten as $\frac{13}{2}\ hrs$

Number of Hours Sonia worked on Math project = $\frac{13}{2}\ hrs$

Number of Hours Tony worked on Math project = $5\frac{2}{3}\ hrs$

$5\frac{2}{3}\ hrs$ can be rewritten as $\frac{17}{3}\ hrs.$

Number of Hours Tony worked on Math project = $\frac{17}{3}\ hrs.$

Now Given:

April worked $1\frac{1}{2}$ times as long on her math project as did Carl.

$1\frac{1}{2}$  can be Rewritten as $\frac{3}{2}$

Number of Hours April worked on math project = $\frac{3}{2}$ $\times$ Number of Hours Carl worked on Math project

Number of Hours April worked on math project = $\frac{3}{2}\times \frac{21}{4} = \frac{63}{8}\ hrs \ \ Or \ \ 7\frac{7}{8} \ hrs$

Also Given:

Debbie worked $1\frac{1}{4}$ times as long as Sonia.

$1\frac{1}{4}$  can be Rewritten as $\frac{5}{4}$.

Number of Hours Debbie worked on math project = $\frac{5}{4}$ $\times$ Number of Hours Sonia worked on Math project

Number of Hours Debbie worked on math project = $\frac{5}{4}\times \frac{13}{2}= \frac{65}{8}\ hrs \ \ Or \ \ 8\frac{1}{8}\ hrs$

Also Given:

Richard worked $1\frac{3}{8}$ times as long as tony.

$1\frac{3}{8}$ can be Rewritten as $\frac{11}{8}$

Number of Hours Richard worked on math project = $\frac{11}{8}$ $\times$ Number of Hours Tony worked on Math project

Number of Hours Debbie worked on math project = $\frac{11}{8}\times \frac{17}{3}= \frac{187}{24}\ hrs \ \ Or \ \ 7\frac{19}{24}\ hrs$

Hence We will match each student with number of hours she worked.

        Student                                                            Hours worked

             April.                                                                  $7\frac{7}{8} \ hrs$

        Debbie.                                                                   $8\frac{1}{8}\ hrs$

        Richard.                                                                   $7\frac{19}{24}\ hrs$
