pls,help in solvin dis question.
Round off 1hr 38mins 45secs to the nearest 1/4hr

1%2B38%2F60%2B45%2F3600%22%22=%22%221.645833333

We need to round off the decimal 0.645833333 to the nearest 1/4 hr.

1/4 hour is 0.25 hours.

Divide 0.645833333 by 0.25 to get 2.5833333

That rounds up to the whole number 3.

So the answer is 1%263%2F4 hours.
