Maria needs a total of two in 1/4 hours to finish reading a book yesterday she read for one and 7/8 hours supply the correct numbers to complete the equation that can be used to determine the number of hours that I needs to read to finish the book book
Let's assign a variable to the number of hours that Maria needs to read to finish the book. Let's call this variable "x."
According to the given information, Maria needs a total of two and 1/4 hours to finish reading the book. This can be represented as:
2 + 1/4 = x
Now let's simplify the equation:
2 + 1/4 = x
8/4 + 1/4 = x
(8 + 1)/4 = x
9/4 = x
Therefore, the correct equation is:
9/4 = x
