Question

sue volunteers at the hospital. Last month she volunteered 1 3/4 hours on each of 4 saturdays. She also volunteered 3/4 hour on 3 Wednesday evenings. How many hours of volunteer work did sue put in last month?

Answer 1

1 3/4 × 4 = 7/4 × 4 = 7 hours on saturdays

3/4 × 3 = 9/4 = 2 1/4 hours on Wednesdays

7 + 2 1/4 = 9 1/4 hours of volunteering total
