<h3>Answer:</h3>

6 hours 36 minutes, or 6 hours 31 1/2 minutes

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Dividing the task among the 6 committee members means each member will be making 525/6 = 87.5, that is, either 87 or 88 flowers. (We doubt that two people working together on the same flower will finish it in half the time.)

Each of the three committee members making 88 flowers will take ...

... 88 × 4 1/2 minutes = 396 minutes = 6 hours 36 minutes

Each member making 87 flowers will be finished 4 1/2 minutes sooner, after 6 hours 31 1/2 minutes.

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

This problem seemingly invites you to divide the labor evenly among committe members. Doing that would give you an answer of 6 hours 33 3/4 minutes. You need to ask yourself whether that is practical for this situation.

Miss Lianto mowed 2/7 of her lawn. Her son mowed 1/4 of it. Who mowed most of the lawn? How much of the lawn still needs to be m
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: 2/7 = 8/28

1/4 = 7/28

Therefore Mr Pham mowed more.

8+7 = 15 so 15/28 of lawn has been mowed, therefore 13/28 of the lawn is left still to be mowed.

Mr. Pham mowed more of the lawn than his son.

it still needs ¹³/₂₈ of the lawn to be mowed.
