Question

Answer 1

See Explanation

Explanation:

Given

`Allen = (3)/(4)hr` less than the most hour

Required

Hours read by Miss Allen

The question is incomplete, as the hours read by each student is not given.

To solve this, I will assume that the longest hours read by a student is x.

So, the expression for Miss Allen will be:

`Allen = x - (3)/(4)hr`

Assume that
`x = 1hr`

The expression becomes

`Allen = 1hr - (3)/(4)hr`

Take LCM and solve

`Allen =(4 - 3)/(4)hr`

`Allen =(1)/(4)hr`
