Jorge can mow one lawn in 3/4 hour. How many lawns can he mow in 3 3/4 hours?

To determine how many lawns Jorge can mow in 3 3/4 hours, we can approach the problem by dividing the total time he has by the time it takes him to mow one lawn.

### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Convert the mixed number into an improper fraction:**
   \[
   3 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{15}{4} \text{ hours}
   \]

2. **Divide the total time by the time it takes to mow one lawn:**
   \[
   \text{Number of lawns} = \frac{\frac{15}{4}}{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{15}{4} \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{15 \times 4}{4 \times 3} = \frac{60}{12} = 5
   \]

### Conclusion:
Jorge can mow 5 lawns in 3 3/4 hours.
