Math Problem Statement

Martha worked on her science project for four fifth hour on Friday she worked on her project for four fifth hour on Saturday how many hours did Martha work on her science project in those two days?

Solution

Martha worked on her science project for 4/5 of an hour on both Friday and Saturday. To find the total number of hours she worked, we add the work done on each day:

45+45=4+45=85\frac{4}{5} + \frac{4}{5} = \frac{4 + 4}{5} = \frac{8}{5}

The total time worked is 8/5 hours, which can also be written as:

85=1 hour and 35 of an hour\frac{8}{5} = 1 \text{ hour and } \frac{3}{5} \text{ of an hour}

So, Martha worked a total of 1 hour and 36 minutes over the two days.
