    5.5 hours

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the no. of hours worked in morning by Pat = x hours

    given that "She worked 3 hours more in the after-

    noon than she worked in the morning"

    No. of hours worked in Afternoon by Pat = x + 3 hours

    Total hours worked in the day = x + x+3 = 2x + 3 hours (1)

    It is given that Pat worked for 8 hours that day (2)

    thus, using 1 and 2 we have

    2x + 3 = 8

    =>2x = 8 - 3 = 5

    => x = 5/2 = 2.5

    no. of hours worked in morning by Pat = x hours = 2.5 hours

    No. of hours worked in Afternoon by Pat = x + 3 hours = 2.5 + 3 hours

    No. of hours worked in Afternoon by Pat = 5.5 hours - - - Answer.
