To compare the two options, we need to convert both fractions to a common denominator. The smallest common denominator that both 4 and 3 can evenly divide is 12.
Option 1: 3/4 of an hour can be written as (3/4) * 12 = 9 hours.
Option 2: 2/3 of an hour can be written as (2/3) * 12 = 8 hours.
Comparing the two options, we see that option 1 provides 9 hours of free time, while option 2 provides 8 hours of free time. Therefore, option 1 is the better choice, as it offers more free time.
