Q:

on sunday, Antonio spent a total of 3 1/4 hours driving and 1 3/4 hours gardening. How much longer did he spend driving than gardening? write as a mix number.

Accepted Solution

A:
I find it easier convert 1/4s in decimals so first I would turn 3 1/4 into 3.25 and 1 3/4 into 1.75.

3.25-1.75 is 1.5 

Convert back into a decimal and it is 1 1/2 

So, Antonio spent an hour and a half more on driving then gardening.
