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

(7/8)h + 1 1/4 = 6
(7/8)h = 6 - 1 1/4 = 4 3/4 = 19/4
h = (19/4) * (8/7) = 152/28 = 38/7 = 5 3/7

Answer: 5 and 3/7 hours.
