Autum school holding a voleturing challeng. Students are encouraged to volunteer for at least 1 1/2 hours per week. Volenteers abou the same amount each week. During a 3- week period she volunteers for 6 3/4 hours. Autumn wants to compare her volunteers rate with the challenge rate

Answer :

Given :

Challenge given is to volunteer for about 1 1/2 hours per week .

Autum did at a rate of 6 3/4 hours per week .

To Find :

The comparison ( ratio )  her volunteers rate with the challenge rate .

Solution :

Simplifying challenge rate in in normal fraction , [tex]1\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{2+1}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}[/tex] .

Also , simplifying her rate , [tex]6\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{(6\times 4)+3}{4}=\dfrac{27}{4}[/tex] .

Now , ratio of his work by challenge is :

[tex]R=\dfrac{\dfrac{27}{4}}{\dfrac{3}{2}}\\\\\\R=\dfrac{27\times 2}{4\times 3}\\\\R=\dfrac{9}{2}[/tex]

Therefore , the ratio is 9/2 or 4 1/2 .

Hence , this is the required solution .

Answer:

its 2 1/4
