The correct answer is 3) 3/4 – 1/4 = 2/4 . Explanation: To find out how much more time Alexis spent playing dodgeball than basketball, you subtract the time spent on basketball from the time spent on dodgeball. So, you calculate: 3/4 (dodgeball) – 1/4 (basketball) = 2/4. This shows that Alexis spent 2/4 hour more playing dodgeball than basketball.
