Angie has to fill in a reading log for her English class. She is required to read a total of 10 and 5 over six hours a week. On Monday she read 1 and 1 over 3 hours, Tuesday she read 3 over 4 of an hour and Thursday she read 3 hours. How many total hours does she still need to read in order to get full credit?

Given:

She is required to read a total = hours a week.

Monday she read hours.

Tuesday she read of an hour.

Thursday she read 3 hours.

To find:

The total hours does she still need to read in order to get full credit.

Solution:

Total time = hours a week.

Total time she already read hours

                                              hours

                                              hours

                                              hours

                                              hours

Now,

Remaining time = Total time - Total time she already read

Therefore, the required time is   hours.
