Question

It took Colin fraction numerator 7 over denominator 4 end fraction hours to mow his neighbor's lawn.

How many whole hours did Colin spend moving the lawn?

Select the correct answer.

Question 4 options:

2 hours

3 hours

1 hour

Answer 1

To find the whole number of hours Colin spent mowing the lawn, we need to divide the numerator (7) by the denominator (4).

7 ÷ 4 = 1 and remainder 3

This means that Colin spent 1 whole hour mowing the lawn and had an additional 3/4 of an hour left.

Therefore, the correct answer is 1 hour.
