Question

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

Answer 1

From the question, it is given that,

Lipika reads the book for $1\frac{3}{4}$ hours every day $=\frac{7}{4}$ hours

Number of days she took to read the entire book = 6 days

$\therefore$ Total number of hours required by her to complete the book $=\frac{7}{4}\times 6$

$=\frac{7}{2}\times 3$

$=\frac{21}{2}$

$=10\frac{1}{2}\text{hours}$

Hence, the total number of hours required by her to complete the book is $10\frac{1}{2}$ hours.
