Did you know that you can solve problems involving the hours worked by using fractions? In this problem, Bob worked 1 3/4 hours longer on Tuesday than on Monday. To find out how many hours he worked on each day, we need to add up the total hours worked, which is 13 1/4 hours. By setting up an equation and solving for Monday's hours, we can determine that Bob worked 5 1/2 hours on Monday. Since he worked 1 3/4 hours longer on Tuesday, he worked 7 1/4 hours on Tuesday. Understanding how to solve these types of problems can help us better comprehend and analyze different scenarios involving time and fractions.
