Question

Last week Jake spent 6 1/4hours reading. Lia spent 3/5 as many hours as Jake reading. How many hours did Lia spending reading?

Answer 1

Answer: She spent 3 and 3/4 hours reading./3.75

Step-by-step explanation: First, convert 6 and 1/4 into a decimal, which turns into 6.25, and then 3/5 as a fraction is 0.6. Then you multiply 6.25x0.6 and get 3.75 and that's how long Lia spent reading.
