Answer 1

Answer:

It takes 102 hours to finish cleaning his room.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Length of trash in his room = 12.75 miles.

The rate at which he cleans is given as 1/8 mile per hour.

let he take x hours to clean his.

So 1/8 mile per hour * (x hours) = 12.75 miles

=> x = 12.75 miles / 0.125 miles per hour

=> x = 102 hours.
