Answers
3÷2+x=19÷4
x=19÷4-3÷2
x=(19-6)÷4
x=13÷4
the time spent for doing homework for other subject is 13÷4hours .
Answer: 13/4 hrs i.e. 3.25 hrs
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : hours spent in doing homework= 19/4 hrs
No. of hours devoted towards maths homework = 3/2 hrs
To find : Hours given to other subjects
Assuming hours spent in studying other subjects as x
3/2 + x = 19/4
x = 19/4 - 3/2
= 38-12/8
= 26/8
= 13/4
Hence x = 13/4
Answer= 13/4 hrs
i.e. no. of hours spent by Geeta in doing other subject work at home is 13/4 hrs i.e. 3 hours 15 mins or 3.25 hours.
