How Long Did Liam Plan to Spend Paddleboarding?

Question:

How much time did Liam plan to spend paddleboarding at Lake Evergreen before it started raining?

Answer:

Liam planned to spend 4.25 hours or 4 hours and 15 minutes paddleboarding at Lake Evergreen.

Explanation:

To calculate how long Liam planned to spend paddleboarding, we need to find the total time he intended to be on the water. Liam and his friends had already been paddleboarding for 3/4 of an hour (0.75 hours) before it started raining. The sun was set to go down in another 3 1/2 hours (3.5 hours) after it started raining. By adding these two amounts of time together (0.75 hours + 3.5 hours), we find that Liam planned to spend a total of 4.25 hours paddleboarding.

This means that Liam intended to spend 4.25 hours, or 4 hours and 15 minutes, enjoying paddleboarding at Lake Evergreen.
