it took victor 8 4/5 hours to complete his science project and 5 3/10 hours to finish his art project. how many more hours did victor spend on his science project?

Question

14 1/10 hours
3 1/2 hours
46 16/25 hours
1 35/53 hours

Answer 1

To find the difference in hours, we need to subtract the time spent on the art project from the time spent on the science project.

Convert 8 4/5 hours to an improper fraction: 8 4/5 = (8*5 + 4)/5 = 44/5
Convert 5 3/10 hours to an improper fraction: 5 3/10 = (5*10 + 3)/10 = 53/10

Now subtract: 44/5 - 53/10 = (44*2 - 53)/10 = (88 - 53)/10 = 35/10 = 3 5/10 = 3 1/2 hours

So, Victor spent 3 1/2 more hours on his science project.
