Question
The earth takes 365 1/4 days to go around the sun. Mercury takes 3 days less than 1/4 of this time. How many days does Mercury take to go around the sun?
I believe I would have to find 1/4 of the 365 1/4 days then take 3 days out.
I was given this do as home work but was not given any method or formula. I really need even the formula or some help.

Yes, you're right.
It would be easier if you used decimals rather than fractions.
I'll be glad to check your answer.
