Question

Lipika reads a book for $1\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$ hours every day. She reads the entire book in $6$ days. How many hours in all were required by her to read the book$?$

Answer 1

Find the total number of hours Lipika takes to read the entire book:

Since Lipika spends $1\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$ hours every day in reading.

Convert the number of hours from the mixed fraction into an improper fraction.

$1\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)=\frac{7}{4}$

That is, Lipika spends $\frac{7}{4}$ hours every day in reading.

Since she takes $6$ days to read the entire book.

So, the number of hours Lipika takes to read the entire book can be given by:$\frac{7}{4}\times 6=10.5$.

Hence, Lipila required $10.5$ hours to read the entire book.
