If Larry worked 41 1/2 hours this week and spent 1/3 of his time hauling material, how much actual time did Larry spend hauling

1 answer

To find out how much actual time Larry spent hauling, we need to multiply the number of hours he worked by the fraction representing the time he spent hauling.

Larry worked 41 1/2 hours, which can also be written as 41.5 hours.
He spent 1/3 of his time hauling material.

Actual time spent hauling = 41.5 hours * 1/3
= 13.833 hours

Therefore, Larry spent approximately 13.833 hours hauling material.
