Bryson is picking green beans. He has already picked 1 and one-fourth bushels and picks at a rate of StartFraction 7 Over 8 EndFraction of a bushel each hour. The equation StartFraction 7 Over 8 EndFraction h + 1 and one-fourth = 6 can be used to represent h, the number of hours it will take him to pick 6 bushels. What is the value of h?
4 and StartFraction 5 Over 32 EndFraction hours
5 and StartFraction 3 Over 7 EndFraction hours
5 and StartFraction 17 Over 28 EndFraction hours
8 and StartFraction 2 Over 7 EndFraction hours

geez - ever hear of actually typing fractions normally, like 1/2 or 2/3 ?
7/8 h + 1 1/4 = 6
multiply by 8 to get
7h + 10 = 48
Now solve for h
