Sagot :

Answer:

1.75 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Time for day 1 : 4.5 hrs

Time for day 2: (4.5 ×2.5)

Time for day 3: let it be denoted by a variable ,say T.

Total Time= 17.5

(Time for day 1 ) + (Time for day 2) +(Time for day 3) =17.5

4.5 + (4.5×2.5) + T = 17.5

4.5+11.25+T =17.5

15.75+T=17.5

T=17.5-15.75

T= 1.75
