Question

Roxi works as a receptionist for an electronics manufacturer. One week she reported that she worked 38.75 hours. The next week she reported 40 1/4 hours. How many more hours did Roxi work the second week?

Answer 1

You’re finding the difference between the two numbers (subtraction). 1/4 is 0.25.

40.25 - 38.75 = 1.5

She worked one and a half more hours in the second week.
