Question

A waitress works 1.75 hours less in the afternoon than in the evening. If she works 5 1/8 hours in the afternoon, how many hours does she work in the evening?

she works 1.75 hours longer in the evenings

so time worked in evening = 5 1/8 + 1.75 hours
= 5.125 + 1.75 hours
= 6.875 hours or 55/8 or 6 7/8 hours if you want it in fractions
