Answer 1

The Total did Rick spend on working in his garden is 1 hour and 15 minutes

Explanation:

Given as :

The work done by Rick for pulling weeds (w1) =
`(5)/(8)` hours

The work done by Rick for planting seeds (w2) =
`(1)/(2)` hours

And The work done by Rick for watering (w3) =
`(1)/(6)` hours

∴ The total Time did rick spend on working = (w1 + w2 + w3 ) hours

Or, The total Time did rick spend on working =
`(5)/(8)+ (1)/(2) + (1)/(6)` hours

Or, The total Time did rick spend on working =
`(31)/(24)`

Hence The Total did Rick spend on working in his garden is 1 hour and 15 minutes Answer
