Michael and his sister Mel share the job of mowing the grass in their yard. Michael mows 1/3
of the yard, and Mel mows the rest. Mel can mow 3/4 of the entire yard in an hour. How long will it take Mel to finish mowing her part of the yard?

Approximately 53 mins

If ¾ yard requires 1 hr, then,

⅔ yard would require x hr

Cross multiply

Divide both sides by 9

It would take Mel to finish mowing her part, which is approximately 53 mins. .
