A bus on a regular schedule takes 3 1/4 hours to reach its destination. The express bus takes 2 1/2 hours to make the same trip. How much travel time can be saved by taking the express? A. 1 1/4 hours B. 3/4 hour C. 2 hours D. 5 3/4 hours it C right?



Answer :

change the mixed numbers into improper fractions so 3 1/4 becomes 8/4 and 2 1/2 becomes 5/2 then change 5/2 into 10/4 so you can subtract the fractions so [tex] \frac{13}{4} - \frac{10}{4} [/tex] your answer is 3/4 hours or B.
i just took the test and the correct answer is :B. 3/4 hour
