Question

A painter works 7 3/4 hours per day. How many hours does this painter work in a 5 day week?

Answer 1

`155/4=38 3/4`

Explanation:

Write `7 3/4` as a mixed fraction:

`7 3/4 = (7xx4+3)/4=31/4`

Now multiply this by `5`:

`31xx5/4=155/4`

Now rewrite this as a proper fraction if you want to:

`155/4=38 3/4`
