High School

Kalani had a lot of science homework last week. She started off with \(\frac{3}{4}\) hour on Monday. Every day after that, she had \(\frac{1}{4}\) hour more than the day before.

1. How many hours of science homework did Kalani have on Thursday?

2. How many hours of science homework did she have for the whole school week?

Answer :

1. The number of hours of science homework that Kalani have on Thursday is 1 1/2 hours.

2. The hours of science homework that she have for the whole school week is 4 1/2 hours.

How to calculate the value?

From the information, Kalani started off with 3/4 hour on Monday and every day after that, she had 1/4 hour more than the day before.

1. This will be illustrated as:

Monday = 3/4 hour

Tuesday = 3/4 + 1/4 = 1 hour

Wednesday = 1 hour + 1/4 hour = 1 1/4 hour

Thursday = 1 1/4 + 1/4 = 1 1/2 hours.

2 The total hours will be the addition of all the values for the days of the week.

= 3/4 + 1 + 1 1/4 + 1 1/2

= 4 1/2 hours.
