Answer:
[tex]\frac{23}{32}\ hours[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find out the number of hours worked by April on her math project
Multiply 1 1/8 by 5 3/4
so
[tex]1\frac{1}{8} (5\frac{3}{4})[/tex]
Convert mixed number to an improper fraction
[tex]1\frac{1}{8}=1+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1*8+1}{8}=\frac{9}{8}[/tex]
[tex]5\frac{3}{4}=5+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{5*4+3}{4}=\frac{23}{4}[/tex]
substitute
[tex]\frac{9}{8} (\frac{23}{4})=\frac{207}{32}\ hours[/tex]
Convert to mixed number
[tex]\frac{207}{32}=\frac{192}{32} +\frac{15}{32} =6\frac{15}{32}\ hours[/tex]
step 2
How many more hours did April work?
Subtract the hours worked by Carl from the hours worked by April
[tex]\frac{207}{32}-\frac{23}{4}=\frac{207-8*23}{32}=\frac{23}{32}\ h[/tex]
