Karen wakes up at 6:00 a.m. It takes her 1 1/4 hours to shower,get dressed,and comb her hair. It takes her 1/2 an hour to eat breakfast, brush her teeth, and make her bed. At what time will she be ready for school? how do you solve it
She will be ready at 7:45 am. 1 1/4 hour = 1 hour and 15 minutes ( 1 hour divided by four is 15 minutes per quarter) adding that to the initial time of 6:00am you get the time to be 7:15am adding the 1/2 an hour which is 30 minutes. Your final answer is, she will be ready at 7:45am.
