A tax consultant takes 1 1/2
hours to prepare a personal tax return and 6 3/4 hours to prepare a small business return. How much longer does it take him to prepare the small business​ return?
To find out how much longer it takes the tax consultant to prepare the small business return compared to the personal return, we need to calculate the difference in time.
6 3/4 hours = 6.75 hours
1 1/2 hours = 1.5 hours
The time difference is:
6.75 hours - 1.5 hours = 5.25 hours
Therefore, it takes the tax consultant 5.25 hours longer to prepare a small business return compared to a personal tax return.
