Answer 2

Answer:

2 hours and 40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to find how much time it takes to complete the race if in two hours holden completed 3/4, the information is this:

hours    race

  2          3/4

   x            1

where x is the unknown hours that takes to complete 1 race.

Using rule of three:

we multiply  the cross quantities (2 by 1) and then divide by 3/4:

$x=\frac{2*1}{\frac{3}{4} } =\frac{4*2}{3} =\frac{8}{3} =2.666 hours$

this is 2 hours plus 0.666 of hour.

0.666 of hour is equal to $\frac{2}{3}$ of hour, and since one hour has 60 minutes:

$60(\frac{2}{3} )=40min$

the total time is 2 hours and 40 minutes.
