Answer 2

Answer: 21 hours.

Explanation:

Given: Harry worked 7 hours last week.

Let the working hours of Aidan be 'x'.

According to the question

Working hours of harry=
`(1)/(3)` of working hours of Aidan

`\Rightarrow7=(1)/(3)*\ x\\\Rightarrow\ x=7*3\\\Rightarrow\ x=21\ hours`

Therefore, Aidan worked for 21 hours.
