It is 11 a.m. Linda arranges to meet a client in \(\frac{3}{4}\) of an hour. What time will it be when Linda meets her client?

Answer :

To solve this problem, you need to look at what you are trying to figure out. In this case, you need to solve this problem in two steps.

First, you need to figure out what 3/4 of an hour is. In order to solve this, you are looking at 1 hour, which is 60 minutes and 3/4 of that hour. So, your first problem set-up is:

60 x 3/4 =

60 and 4 cross cancel, and your problem becomes:

15 x 3 = 45 mins

The second part of the problem is it is 11 and 45 mins later, and they will meet. So she will meet her clint at 11:45 am.

Answer 11:45 am
