Answer:

        Student                                                            Hours worked

             April.                                                                  [tex]7\frac{7}{8} \ hrs[/tex]

        Debbie.                                                                   [tex]8\frac{1}{8}\ hrs[/tex]

        Richard.                                                                   [tex]7\frac{19}{24}\ hrs[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Some data's were missing so we have attached the complete information in the attachment.

Given:

Number of Hours Carl worked on Math project = [tex]5\frac{1}{4}\ hrs[/tex]

[tex]5\frac{1}{4}\ hrs[/tex] can be Rewritten as [tex]\frac{21}{4}\ hrs[/tex]

Number of Hours Carl worked on Math project = [tex]\frac{21}{4}\ hrs[/tex]

Number of Hours Sonia worked on Math project = [tex]6\frac{1}{2}\ hrs[/tex]

[tex]6\frac{1}{2}\ hrs[/tex] can be rewritten as [tex]\frac{13}{2}\ hrs[/tex]

Number of Hours Sonia worked on Math project = [tex]\frac{13}{2}\ hrs[/tex]

Number of Hours Tony worked on Math project = [tex]5\frac{2}{3}\ hrs[/tex]

[tex]5\frac{2}{3}\ hrs[/tex] can be rewritten as [tex]\frac{17}{3}\ hrs.[/tex]

Number of Hours Tony worked on Math project = [tex]\frac{17}{3}\ hrs.[/tex]

Now Given:

April worked [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] times as long on her math project as did Carl.

[tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  can be Rewritten as [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Number of Hours April worked on math project = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] [tex]\times[/tex] Number of Hours Carl worked on Math project

Number of Hours April worked on math project = [tex]\frac{3}{2}\times \frac{21}{4} = \frac{63}{8}\ hrs \ \ Or \ \ 7\frac{7}{8} \ hrs[/tex]

Also Given:

Debbie worked [tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex] times as long as Sonia.

[tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex]  can be Rewritten as [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex].

Number of Hours Debbie worked on math project = [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] [tex]\times[/tex] Number of Hours Sonia worked on Math project

Number of Hours Debbie worked on math project = [tex]\frac{5}{4}\times \frac{13}{2}= \frac{65}{8}\ hrs \ \ Or \ \ 8\frac{1}{8}\ hrs[/tex]

Also Given:

Richard worked [tex]1\frac{3}{8}[/tex] times as long as tony.

[tex]1\frac{3}{8}[/tex] can be Rewritten as [tex]\frac{11}{8}[/tex]

Number of Hours Richard worked on math project = [tex]\frac{11}{8}[/tex] [tex]\times[/tex] Number of Hours Tony worked on Math project

Number of Hours Debbie worked on math project = [tex]\frac{11}{8}\times \frac{17}{3}= \frac{187}{24}\ hrs \ \ Or \ \ 7\frac{19}{24}\ hrs[/tex]

Hence We will match each student with number of hours she worked.

        Student                                                            Hours worked

             April.                                                                  [tex]7\frac{7}{8} \ hrs[/tex]

        Debbie.                                                                   [tex]8\frac{1}{8}\ hrs[/tex]

        Richard.                                                                   [tex]7\frac{19}{24}\ hrs[/tex]
