Question

It usually takes you 1 1/4 hours to get home. One day, traffic was slowed by bad weather and it took you 2 1/2 hours to get home. How much longer did it take you to get home with bad weather?

Answer 1

1 1/4 more hours

Explanation:

To find this, we must subtract 2 1/2, the time it takes you to get home with bad weather by 1 1/4, the amount it usually takes you to get home. We can make 2 1/2 into 2 2/4, and now we can subtract and get 1 1/4.
