CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. 34\frac{3}{4} of the tub takes 9 minutes, so 14\frac{1}{4} takes 3 minutes.

  2. The whole tub takes 4×3=124 \times 3 = 12 minutes.

Worth noting

3 minutes is only the last quarter. 6346\frac{3}{4} minutes comes from multiplying 9 by 34\frac{3}{4} instead of dividing.
