Question

Rona reads a book for $1 fraction numerator 1 over denominator 4 end fraction$ hours every day. She reads the entire book in 6 days. Find the number of hours in all that she required to read the book.

$8 \frac{1}{2}$
$7 \frac{1}{2}$
$6 \frac{1}{2}$
$5 \frac{1}{2}$

hint Hint:

To find the total Time for all books , we multiply the time taken for each book and total number of books.

The correct answer is: $7 fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction$

Time taken for each book = $1 1 fourth$ hours ; total number of books = 6
Hours in all required by Rona to read book = $1 fraction numerator 1 over denominator 4 end fraction cross times 6$
Using Improper fraction = $fraction numerator open parentheses text Whole number × Denominator end text close parentheses text + Numerator end text over denominator text Denominator end text end fraction$
$equals fraction numerator 4 cross times 1 plus 1 over denominator 4 end fraction cross times 6$
$equals fraction numerator 5 over denominator 4 end fraction cross times 6$
$equals fraction numerator 30 over denominator 4 end fraction equals fraction numerator 30 divided by 2 over denominator 4 divided by 2 end fraction equals fraction numerator 15 over denominator 2 end fraction equals 7 fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction$
Therefore, $7 1 half$ hours is the time taken by Rona to read all 6 books.
