Question

9) Radhika reads a book for 2 ¾ hours every day. She reads the entire book in 6 days. How many hours in all were required by her to read the book?

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of hours she reads a day = 1 3/4 hours (Given)

Find the number of hours read in 6 days:

I day = 1 3/4 hours

6 days = 1 3/4 x 6

6 days = 7/4 x 6

6 days = 42/4

6 days = 10 1/2 hours

Answer: She needs 10 1/2 hours to read the book.

Answer 2

Answer:

16 1/2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of hours read everyday : 2 3/4 hrs

Total hours took to read the book:

2 3/4 x 6= 33/2 hrs

since, numerator is greater than denominator, converting it into mixed fraction :

TOTAL HOURS REQUIRED = 16 1/2 hrs
