See comment for complete question

Given

Let

[tex]D = Dominic[/tex]

[tex]R = Rachel[/tex]

So:

[tex]D = 2\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

and

[tex]R =1\frac{1}{3}[/tex] as long as D

Required

Determine the number of hours spent by Rachel

This implies that:

[tex]R =1\frac{1}{3}[/tex] as long as D

Rewrite as:

[tex]R =1\frac{1}{3} * D[/tex]

Substitute: [tex]D = 2\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]R =1\frac{1}{3} * 2\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Express as improper fraction

[tex]R =\frac{4}{3} * \frac{11}{4}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]R =\frac{1}{3} * 11[/tex]

[tex]R =\frac{11}{3}[/tex]

Express as mixed numbers

[tex]R =3\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Hence, Rachel worked for [tex]3\frac{2}{3}[/tex] hours
