Question

Greg sets his watch for the correct time on Wednesday. exactly one week later,he finds that his watch has lost 3 1/4 minutes if his watch continues to lose time at the same rate, what will be the overall change in the time after 8 weeks

Answer 1

Multiply 3 1/4 by 8 to get your answer.

3 x 8= 24
1/4 x 8= 2

Your answer is 26. You can also make 3 1/4 into a improper fraction:

13/4 x 8/1= 104/4

Simplify the improper fraction to get 26.
