Answer:
5.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the no. of hours worked in morning by Pat = x hours
given that "She worked 3 hours more in the after-
noon than she worked in the morning"
No. of hours worked in Afternoon by Pat = x + 3 hours
Total hours worked in the day = x + x+3 = 2x +3 hours (1)
It is given that Pat worked for 8 hours that day (2)
thus, using 1 and 2 we have
2x +3 = 8
=>2x = 8 - 3 = 5
=> x = 5/2 = 2.5
no. of hours worked in morning by Pat = x hours = 2.5 hours
No. of hours worked in Afternoon by Pat = x + 3 hours = 2.5 + 3 hours
No. of hours worked in Afternoon by Pat = 5.5 hours --- Answer.
